To see On This Day photos on iPhone, open the Memories tab in PicWay. When the date has photos from past years, On This Day appears there. To get a reminder, turn it on in PicWay’s settings. It comes at 9:30 AM by default, and only when that date really has photos from past years.

## How to do it {#steps}

1. **Open On This Day**: On PicWay’s Memories tab, tap On This Day. See On This Day may also show up under Next up.
2. **Turn on the reminder**: Tap the gear at the top right of the Memories tab, tap On This Day reminder, turn on Remind me about On This Day, tap Allow notifications, and allow them when iOS asks.
3. **Change the time, or skip some photos**: You can change the reminder time. For photos you don’t want to see, tap the gear at the top right of the Memories tab, tap Memories to skip, then Add date range or Add album.

## When does the reminder for On This Day photos come? {#reminder-timing}

Only when that date really has photos from past years. Photos you chose to skip won’t appear in it.

## Are skipped photos deleted? {#avoided-not-deleted}

No. Skipping only affects what PicWay suggests to you (On This Day, journeys, Moments, Tidy, reminders, and widgets), and you can still see those photos when you open your library or an album. To undo it, remove the rule on the **Memories to skip** page.

## Does On This Day include screenshots? {#screenshots-in-on-this-day}

Not by default. Reviews, On This Day, memories, and widgets leave out screenshots, screen recordings, and animated images. They’re all still in your library.
