Facebook’s algorithms sometimes have a tendency to sometimes bring up memories that some users would rather forget, but a new change the social network is making to its On This Day feature will allow you to block out memories (and people) that you would rather not see.

Launched in March 2015, On This Day is Facebook’s in-house answer to the popular Timehop app. It gives users a sort of time capsule that pulls of pictures and status updates from previous years on the same day they happened.

While this is intended to be a fun look back at what was going on in users’ lives on that day in previous years, the memories they grabbed were not always happy ones.

For example, On This Day might grab a picture of an ex, a status update announcing the death of a loved one, or other equally unpleasant memories. Facebook has sort of solved this problem now with the addition of memory filters that will now allow users to exclude specific dates and people from showing up in their On This Day feed.

“Everyone has various kinds of memories that can be surfaced — good, bad and everything in between,” Facebook said in a statement. “So for the millions of people who use On This Day, we’ve added these filters to give them more control over the memories they see.”

Facebook will likely make this same change to its Year in Review feature, which automatically stitches together a series of pictures and status updates that users have posted throughout the year. The social network got into a bit of hot water last year after a user named Eric Meyer reported being shown a series of pictures from his year that showed his young daughter’s slow death from cancer.

“This inadvertent algorithmic cruelty is the result of code that works in the overwhelming majority of cases,” Meyer wrote in a blog post at the time. “But for those of us who lived through the death of loved ones, or spent extended time in the hospital, or were hit by divorce or losing a job or any one of a hundred crises, we might not want another look at this past year.”
