What you need to know

  • The beta version of OneDrive's Android app now has an "On this day" feature.
  • The feature lets you easily browse content taken on the same calendar day in previous years.
  • Facebook features a similar feature.

Once beta users update the app, the top of the app has an "On this day" section that takes you to a collection of all of your photos and videos taken on the same day in previous years. Facebook has a very similar feature, though that feature relies on content that you've shared on Facebook. This feature might be more useful for users wanting to see a more private memory or for users that don't use Facebook.

All of Microsoft's iOS and Android beta programs, and how to sign up

The update brings the beta version of the app to version 5.41 and is rolling out now.
