Technologies / / December 19, 2019
Many, many people (and if you believe all kinds of research, almost all) like sticky social networking, browsing through past records. Enough to put up with it and wasting precious time! We know a way to help get rid of the habit of looking to the past and motivated to live here and now.
Almost every one of us has an addiction to review old messages, to remember past events and view your favorite photos. Function Facebook "On this day" allows you to mark certain entries in the social network and view their later years as a calendar of events that occurred on that day. But somehow mark unwanted messages, cut to the social network any time period can not - simply do not switch.
"On this day" shows all the posts made to the this day, for all time the existence of Facebook. Complimentary time, the applet is not turned off (many are puzzledWhy the company did not foresee this possibility). Somehow you can restrict the issuance of using the "Show less posts," although likely social the network will be reminded of the past every two or three days, not every day, still showing all marked entries.
Despite the fact that the direct way to turn off this feature is not present, there is a workaround using filters. Thus it is possible to filter out certain date, cut them out of the issue (presumably to Facebook is not reminded of unpleasant or terrible events). Filtering capabilities span the lifetime of the social network, the past and the future. That is, you can actually turn off the reminders about events that happened "that day."
Enables filtering as follows:
- With the help of the desktop version of the browser you want to open the full version of their pages to Facebook.
- In the menu "Applications" click on "On this day", highlighting function.
- GEAR click on "Settings" next to the name.
- Press the "Change" button next to the "Terms" under the heading "Filters."
- Press "Enter the date."
- To completely switch off the reminder function on the events marked or created on this day, select "Date of creation" as the start date and "Until the End" as the deadline for the filter action.
- After you need to click "Finish" and "Save".
After these manipulations Facebook cease to display any memories from the past. If you just want to limit the time period, not getting rid of the reminders at all, you can narrow your filter by certain dates.
