Facebook unveils flashback feature 'On This Day'

Most of the Facebook experience is about what its users are doing in the moment. But a new feature rolling out soon will give users an easier way to look back.

The social network announced On This Day, a feature that will let users revisit older photos and status updates they've shared with friends.

Any status updates, content posts or photos published on this date in the past will appear, and users will have the option to share those with friends.

"People often look back at old photos and other memories they've shared on Facebook, and many have told us that they enjoy products and features that make this easier," said Facebook product manager Jonathan Gheller.

Users can review their recaps on the Web and mobile, either through a dedicated site or in their News Feed. The feature has started rolling out globally on both the Web and mobile.
