One of the highlighted features offered by Instagram is the “On This Day” archive feature. This offering allows users to relive memories and reshare old content in their stories. New reports show many Instagram users are experiencing an issue where the “On This Day” archive feature is not showing.
Affected users on Reddit and Thread mentioned that they can’t figure out exactly where the feature disappeared to. Also, many of the users are still clueless as to how to bring it back.
Instagram ‘On This Day’ Archive Memories are Not Showing: Here’s Why
In case you don’t know, the “On This Day” feature is designed to help users revisit and reshare stories. With this option, an Instagram user can post the same content they posted before on their stories on the same date in previous years.
Normally, the archive feature often appears as a prompt when a user is creating a new story. It also appears within the archive section. Today, however, users are saying the feature is no longer showing. Looking at the reports on Reddit and the thread, it seems this issue started a few months ago.
One Thread user, Ashtontekno, said: “Is it me or @Instagram ‘On this day’ Stories Archive pops up not showing up anymore?” Another Instagram user on Reddit said: “Until a few days ago, whenever I would go to ‘Archive’, I could instantly see if I ever posted a post or a story on today’s date in the past
Another user noted that while their archived stories are still available, it now requires manual search through the calendar to find older content. This is something that the feature handles automatically before.
Is There a Workaround Yet?
Reports on Reddit and threads show that the issue, in which the “On This Day” archive feature is not showing, is widespread. This is one feature that a lot of people find helpful on Instagram. According to a user, the archived memories are one of his favorite things to check. But now that it has disappeared, the question remains: How do we bring it back? Are there workarounds that can restore this amazing feature?
While the exact cause of this issue is still unclear, a few people suggest it may be because of Instagram’s recent updates. Others claimed the issue surfaces because of a server-side change.
For now, the Instagram team has yet to acknowledge the issue, where the “On This Day” archive feature is not showing.
However, some users mentioned that trying a manual workaround may work. This involves checking the archive calendar to find the past stories. While this is less convenient, we believe it’ll surely go a long way in helping you enjoy the feature until Instagram restores it.
