Facebook Memories hasn’t disappeared; Facebook has been updating how memories are surfaced, and many users have noticed changes in where and how you access them. Here’s what’s likely happening and how to find them now. What changed

  • Memories location and prominence: Some updates place memory highlights in different areas of the app or reduce their prominence in the home feed. In some cases, the Memories tab or shortcut may be less obvious or require navigating through menus.
  • AI and relevance tweaks: There have been reports that automated “Then and Now” or memory prompts have been adjusted, which can make memories feel less visible even though the feature remains active.
  • App updates and regional differences: Facebook periodically tests UI changes with small user groups, so your exact path to memories can differ by device (iOS vs Android) and region.
  • Reminders vs feed: You might still see memory prompts when you open Memories directly, but the feed might not surface them as aggressively as before.

How to locate memories now

  • On mobile (iOS/Android):
    • Open Facebook, tap the menu (three horizontal lines or your profile icon, depending on version).
    • Look for “Memories” in the list (it might be under a “More” or “Explore” section). If you don’t see it, use the search (magnifying glass) and type “Memories.”
    • Once opened, you should see today’s memories, timelines like “Then and Now,” and options to share or create a post from memory highlights.
  • On desktop:
    • Go to facebook.com and look for the Memories bookmark in the left-hand side rail, or use the top navigation to find “Memories.”
    • If not visible, try the left-side menu’s More options to reveal additional shortcuts or use the search box and type “Memories.”

Troubleshooting

  • Ensure the app is up to date: update to the latest version, as UI changes often come with new releases.
  • Check permissions: memories rely on your photo access and data availability; ensure Facebook has permission to access photos if you want to include new memories.
  • Clear cache or reinstall: if memories aren’t loading or seem missing, clearing the app cache (or reinstalling) can resolve some display issues.
  • Community and official notes: occasional announcements indicate broader changes to the feature or its placement; checking Facebook’s official help center or recent posts can confirm current behavior.

If you’re seeing a particular issue (e.g., “memories tab missing,” “then and now not showing,” or “no memories at all”), sharing those specifics helps pinpoint the likely cause and the best workaround.
