How to Fix Facebook Memories Not Showing
Facebook Memories is a feature that automatically displays old posts, photos, and videos from your profile history. It serves as a digital scrapbook, allowing users to revisit specific past days and celebrate milestones, which helps increase platform engagement. Users typically have control, with options to filter or hide content from certain people or dates.
This guide provides solutions for when Facebook Memories are not showing, not working, or are missing on both desktop and the mobile app.
How to Fix Facebook Memories Not Showing
If your Facebook Memories are not appearing, you can attempt to switch between the mobile and desktop platforms. Other solutions include turning off the AI restyle option for memories, adding a specific date range, or installing a previous version of the Facebook app.
Fix 1: Switch Between the Facebook Mobile App and Desktop

If Memories fail to load in the Facebook mobile app, try accessing them via facebook.com on a desktop browser.

In the Memories sidebar, click “Hide Dates.”

For the End Date, select the same date as the Start Date.

Click “Save” and check if your Memories are now visible.
