Here's how you can prevent awkward Facebook run-ins with your ex

Facebook’s On This Day feature has a few filters you can

Facebook "like Jonathan Brady / PA Wire Jonathan Brady / PA Wire / PA Wire

ANYONE WHO USES Facebook’s On This Day feature knows that it’s a mixed bag.

Sometimes it reminds you of that gas time your friend pushed you around in an abandoned trolley while you were absolutely plastered.

Other times, it reminds you of an unbelievably boring status you posted back in 2012.

But the worst thing Facebook Memories is guilty of is reminding you of your stupid ex.

Can you not, Facebook?

What makes you think we want to see a photo of our ex at a barbecue in 2012?

We can all agree that it’s a total nightmare.

But finally, Facebook has come up with a way to ensure that your Facebook Memories will never include photos of your ex.

People can now use filters to ensure that they’re not reminded of certain people or dates on Facebook.

Type On This Day into Facebook’s search bar. In the top right, you’ll see Preferences. Click that, and you’ll see this screen.

othisday

Don’t want to be reminded of a traumatic event? Just tell Facebook.

traumatic

And don’t want to see photos of your ex and you at your cousin’s wedding? Worry no more.

    I wonder is that why he pulled the Digicel IPO?
    Someone had dirt on him.

    He shot himself in the foot last week just before the launch. Threatening to block VIOP and advertisemnents on Facebook and Google using a program called ‘Shine’. He felt that because he owns the network in the Caribbean and google and Facebook were making revenue from advertisements by piggy backing on his network…he wanted them to pay him a portion of their ad revenue.
    The prospective investors looked at this and got cold feet as investing in a network that was about to take on Google and Facebook would eat money should a court case ensue and the fear that customers would drop the network. If Facebook or Google decided to teach Denis a lesson as to how attractive a network without Google or Facebook is to customers….well you can imagine how interest and inquiries prior to the float of Digicel suddenly died down after Denis started acting gung ho with two of the worlds biggest companies.
    Denis is too used to getting his way in Ireland to realise he’s not that big a fish in America.

    It’s a pity you can’t filter out the annoying sheeites you work and see in real life. Oh, you can….WINE, how silly I forgot. Off to the fridge now.

    It would be great if the rest of us could have a solicitor and high court on speed dial if we thought someone was about to say something awful about us..
    So bored of his winging at this stage,

    I was crushed when my lover of three years left to be with another woman. I
    cried and sobbed every day, until it got so bad that I reached out to the
    Internet for help.And i saw a testimony of a spell caster who help a girl
    called Michelle and i said let me give it a try so i contact him for help
    and he cast a love spell for me which i use in getting my lover back and now
    i am a happy woman.For what you have done for me,i will not stop to share
    your goodness to people out there for the good work you are doing.I hope
    God blesses you as much as you have help me to get my Love back,visit him
