Getting more from these captions

Add the date in the name or the caption
A year makes it far easier to find the right highlight a decade later.
Use screenshots sparingly
Old chat screenshots can stir great feelings, but ask the other person first.
Rotate in new stories
Add a few slides each season so the highlight keeps growing without needing a redo.

They stay on your profile until you remove them. Keep a backup of important photos on your phone or computer as well.

How do I save old stories I already posted?
