How do I disable the function of nostalgia Facebook?

- We live in a time where we actually always look forward and just want more and we sometimes forget to reflect on what we have done in the past.

For that reason, the Facebook seemed like a good idea (to steal the functionality of Timehop ​​s) to build in a feature that reminds you of status updates from the past. Thanks so nice, but not if you have not asked for. There are of course a whole bunch of reasons why you would not want to be reminded of the past. For example, because someone is no longer applicable or because of other nasty things have happened where you want to be confronted unexpectedly with it. Fortunately, there is an ability to function, called 'On This Day' to modify or even completely off.

On this day free when you navigate to your Facebook page (on your desktop) you can see on the left a cup of apps, including the option on this day. Click this option and then upper right Notifications. By default, this option is selected All the memories, but if you do not want, click Off. The app itself, of course, still exists, but you do not get notifications anymore. With one press of the button switches on the entire function 'On This Day' out.

Adjust On this day

Another option is to indicate what period of time you would rather not receive any more reminders. For example, because there is someone with whom you no longer on good terms, or because there is a specific date in which something happened miserable. In that case the upper right click Preferences (next Notifications). Now you can specify exactly which data or people you want to filter, so you can not be faced with unpleasant surprises. It can also be somewhat less rigorous.
