This feature has offered a unique way to see the past memories, which has been posted and shared by the Facebook users over the time.

Facebook brought these filter after gauzing user’s reaction

It has been earlier reported that a number of users had stumbled upon some difficult moments of the past from the On This Day feature. A lot of Facebook users had openly expressed their view regarding the demeaning and un-thoughtful aspect of this feature. Even in the past Facebook had to deal with the nostalgia based blunder, which included the last year’s ‘Year in Review’ feature. This particular feature simply created a video by pulling together the moments in a chronological order. Even this feature left a large number of users miffed and saddened due to the surfacing of some upsetting memories from the past. However Facebook is actively learning from its mistakes and it is set to offer more control to the users in the ‘On This Day’ feature to make their social networking an enjoyable affair.
