After rolling out Facebook’s ‘Year in Review’ which focused on both, the good and the bad events around the world from the past twelve months, we now have an new ‘Your Year in Review’ that is appearing on the New Feed. While many may have dreaded such a feature in the past, the new ‘Your Year in Review’ can actually be edited and then shared with your Facebook friends.
What this also means is that you can now edit out all the bad stuff that happened over the past twelve months like break ups, friends who aren’t your friends anymore and technically fix ‘Your Year in Review’ timeline.
“We heard feedback last year that we need to do more to select the photos that are most enjoyable to people and make it easier for them to edit the photos they see and share in their Year in Review. So we’ve applied a unique set of filters to Your Year in Review to reduce the chance we’ll show you a photo you don’t want to see.” said a Facebook spokesperson. “Any photo that we suggest that you’d rather not include can be easily removed or replaced, and you can choose whether you want to enjoy this experience yourself or share it with friends.”
The ‘Your Year in Review’ basically comprises of ten photos selected by Facebook that it thinks are the most interesting (liked or commented) ones. A user can edit his post by clicking on the ‘edit’ button to change and adjust what they would like their friends or family to see. The feature has begun rolling out from December 16 and users should begin to see their ‘Your Year in Review’ promotions in their News Feed.
