Facebook wants you to share good news with your friends. 

A new feature on the platform congratulates users on relationships or wedding anniversaries and users can then share that story alongside a collection of photos with their Facebook friend groups.

Facebook will automatically surface photos that both parties in the relationship are tagged in and users can then edit those photos or upload their own if they choose to share the news with others.

Facebook started recognizing wedding and relationship anniversaries on Thursday.

The new feature will only apply to users who share the actual date their relationship began and the congratulatory message will only appear to the individuals who are in the relationship — not their friends — unless they choose to share it.

Facebook has long come to the aid of people who can’t keep track of remembering friends’ birthdays. Now, it’s there for those who have trouble remembering their own anniversaries too.

Not in a relationship? At least you'll be constantly be reminded which of your friends are off limits.
