"We are currently testing a feature that will show users content from their News Feed 'from a year ago today,'" a Facebook spokeswoman confirmed to ABC News.
The new Facebook feature serves as a keyhole into the past. The Verge reports that Facebook filters out the more unmemorable entries and instead displays more popular stories, determined by likes and comments.
Select users can visit facebook.com/feed/todayinhistory to see the year-old statuses, as well as other milestones and events from that month. For example, an "On This Day" snapshot reveals information such as birthdays, new jobs, graduations and relocations posted along the right hand side.
Business Insider notes that, for users that have the "On This Day" feature already, it can be accessed directly through their News Feed. In the left hand drop-down menu, Facebook users can sort their feed by "On This Day."?
Facebook is known for testing out new features on a limited population ahead of a widespread release. ?Earlier this month, the social network tested out an upgraded search engine feature, Facebook Graph Search, which launched on select users' home pages.
So far, the new Facebook feature is just in testing, but users can anticipate the new feature to roll out on their News Feed shortly. Do you have the latest Facebook "On This Day" feature? Let us know in the comment section.?
