Look back on 2014 with Facebook’s Year in Review
With Facebook's Year in Review feature for 2014, users can combine photos and statuses, as well as customize the images and update types they want to show in their Year in Review

MANILA, Philippines – Facebook has always been one with making people remember the good times in their social media lives. This year, the company set out to go a bit further, creating a mobile-first “Year in Review” page to let people compile their favorite 2014 memories.

NOT PERFECT. If you don't have a lot of pictures to choose from, Facebook may arbitrarily get unflattering pictures you have from that time. Screen shot from Facebook Year in Review

With 2014’s “Year in Review,” users can combine photos and statuses, as well as customize the images and update types they want to show in their Year in Review.

Once it’s completed, users can share their creation on their Facebook wall, and it’ll be viewable on both web and mobile, with the advantage slanted firmly towards mobile viewing. Viewers can scroll through the year’s highlights, a plus if you want to take your time, rather than have a video (2013’s Year in Review) dictate the speed of moving through those precious memories.

The Year in Review is, for the most part, smart about picking pictures for your highlight reel, but it can also tend to pick pictures that don’t have much emotional value – such as a picture of newly installed blinds – if there isn’t enough content for it to choose from.

Thankfully, a little editing will let you take out those pictures if you need to.
