With the end of the year fast approaching, it’s time for Facebook to launch its annual Year in Review tool, which recaps all of your highlights throughout 2015, so long as you mentioned them on the social network. This time around, Facebook is giving users a little more control over what’s recapped, that way it can avoid the issues it had last year where people were being reminded of things they’d much rather forget because Year in Review couldn’t distinguish between good memories and bad ones.
It’s that time of the year again: Facebook has launched its 2015 Year in Review tool, and this around it’s giving you a bit more control. As with previous years, the tool recaps what Facebook thinks were your highlights of the year – or at least those you shared on social media. However that algorithm-based system has it share of problems, so this time the company says it’s focused on both refining those algorithms and making it easy for users to correct any unfortunate inclusions on their own. When the tool shows up on your feed, you’re first asked whether you want to see the collection, after which you’re presented with the option to either edit the images or share them. By default, the app suggests up to ten photos, but you can replace any with other pictures you uploaded or were tagged in during the year. Similarly the specify who sees the collection upon sharing (or opt to keep it private).
