How to access Instagram's 'On This Day' feature
Every now and then my mom gets a rush of nostalgia and goes digging through old family photo albums.
She'll find some embarrassing picture of me from 10 to 20 years ago which ultimately finds its way into my texts with the caption: "🎶 🎶 Meeeeeemmorriieeeessss 🎶 🎶"
In that way, my mom is almost like my personal Instagram "On This Day" feature.
The feature is available in your Story and shows you a memory in the form of Instagram content you posted on that date however many years ago. Here's how to access it in just a couple easy steps.
1. Go to create or add to your Instagram Story.
2. Make sure you're scrolled to "Story" at the bottom.
3. Tap the "Create" icon (the text symbol on the left of the screen).

6. To add it to your Story, simply tap the clock symbol to capture the frame. Then, tap "Your Story" in the bottom left corner.
But there's another way! You can also access the "On This Day" feature by accessing your Story Archive.
1. First, navigate to your Insta profile and tap the three lines in the upper right of the screen

Cue the nostalgia.Credit: SCREENSHOT: INSTAGRAMThat'll do it. Your "On This Day" post will be added to your Instagram Story for your followers (or your mom) to see and reminisce over. You can get cute and add stickers, text, or markups before you post. Or you can just leave it as is. Either way, let the reminiscing commence.
