Facebook re-posting old photos mistakenly

New York, Dec 10 : If you have seen your old photos on Facebook re-appearing, you are not alone as many users have complained that the photos they had posted months ago are resurfacing on their pages.According to a report in Boston Globe on Friday the complaints came after Facebook told users on Thursday that it had compiled videos for them that showed their "year in review", essentially a video slideshow of individuals photos from 2016 that they can share with their friends.The report quoted Stephanie Milot, a reporter for PC Magazine, who wrote that four of her photos were re-posted Friday.The new photos did not merely re-appear on timeline but the posts were marked with new dates and timestamps -- confusing the users as if they had been posted anew.However, Facebook has said that it was aware of the issue and currently investigating.Facebook s help forum has received many queries regarding the issue. Many users, after Friday s Facebook glitch, were led to believe that their accounts were hacked."Tonight I have seen two posts on my page as new posts, but both are from 6 months ago, and are old posts. Why is this happening? Have I been hacked?" the report cited one user writing.Earlier this year, Facebook had mistakenly said that some of its 1.79 billion users were dead.
