Facebook's "On This Day" feature shows your activity on its social network on the same day from years past. Think of it like your personal time capsule on Facebook.
Only you see your "On This Day" activity, and you can find the feature from the link Facebook.com/onthisday. Facebook also lets you hide certain people from showing up in your past activity, which is helpful for not seeing memories of your ex.
