Key notes
Facebook Memories is a popular feature you can use to post older events but for some reason, for many, Facebook Memories is not working and you cannot post while the Memory is loading.
Why can’t I post a memory on Facebook?
What do I do if the Facebook memory is not loading?
Before getting into more complicated tweaks, try the following simple procedures:
1. Check if Facebook Memories is turned ON
The process is similar for the browser version or the mobile versions for Android and iOS.
If you’re wondering why can’t I see my memories on Facebook, the answer is that you probably turned them Off or you have blocked some people related to those events.
2. Clear the cache of the Facebook app
2.1 On PC
2.2 On Android
2.3 On iOS
2.4 Clear the browser cache
We have shown here how to delete the cache and cookies from Chrome but the procedure is similar on all the major browsers. This solution will also work for the Facebook MemoriesSomething went wrongerror.
IfFacebook is not working in Chrome, it would be a good idea to try abetter browserand log into Facebook.
3. Reinstall the Facebook app
If Facebook Memory is still not working after clearing the app and browser cache, you should try to reinstall the app on your device.
On a Windows 10 PC, go to Settings > Apps, find Facebook, and select Uninstall. On Windows 11, go to Settings > Apps > Installed apps and uninstall Facebook from the list of apps.
If you are using the Facebook app on mobile devices, just long tap the app and select Uninstall or drag it to the Uninstall option.
After completing the uninstallation, install the app from theMicrosoft Store for PC, fromGoogle Play on the Android device, or theApp Store for iOS devices.
After this, Facebook Memory should work fine and you will be able to load the memories and post them without any issues.
Why can’t I see my Facebook Memories?
If you can’t see your Facebook memories, that means that either the notifications for Facebook Memories are turned off, or you have hidden people or dates from the Memories function.
On Facebook, go to Menu > Memories to change those settings, as shown in Solution 1 from this guide.
To summarise our guide, if you cannot post while the Memories is loading, turn on the notifications, clear the cache from any device you’re using Facebook on, or reinstall the app.
