Facebook has apologised for the grief its "Year in Review" app caused some of its users while dishing out good memories along with the bad ones. The social working site compiled a "Year in Review" video for every user, allowing them to reminisce over the highlights of the past year as calculated by Facebook's algorithm.
While some people's highlights included a wedding or a trip, others contained more devastating highlights like the death of a loved one, Jezebel reported.Writer and web design consultant Eric Meyer wrote a poignant response to the "Year in Review" app after viewing the picture of his daughter, who died of brain cancer earlier this year, in his news feed.
In reply to this, Jonathan Gheller, product manager for the app at Facebook, apologised for the pain the app caused.
