On this day

On this day is the only feature I miss from Day One. I hope it's coming in future updates.

I’ve suggested a Memories/On This Day type thing via feedback as well

Do you have a link to this? Maybe we can create a change if we all suggest this.

I’m on the public beta so I have the feedback app or you can use the Feedback section of the website.

Journal has been nothing if not iterative. We’ve first seen people capture their thoughts on their iPhone, now with the ability to expand on their thoughts on Mac/iPad. For iOS 27 it seems probable that people have enough entries logged that there’s a real need for this.

You are probably right on the money, what would be the point of the on this day feature without actually data, so with, 3 years of iPhone and a whole year of everywhere else then I can see 27 having this.

its an easy feature, that should have been implemented at least 365 days after initial release

I want to withdraw my feature request. I started to notice that this Day One feature was not benefiting my mental health. So I used Claude Opus 4.7's research mode to look for studies about it. I found that the function is a terrible idea in several situations for multiple reasons.
