Photos new memory notifications

Hi

Over the last month I have had a few notifications on my iPhone that I have a new memory in photos.
The thing is the photos were taken months/years ago that are getting the notifications, I didn't think memories was a new feature in the Photos app, so it seems a little weird why I get these now.
Has something changed in recent software updates?

Thanks

I'm not sure, but I get these pop up too from time to time - it seems to be random and as you say, is often from an old event.

I think that they're showing you events from your past to evoke memories - That's the whole point of them.

That actually makes sense, although they are a bit random, and I have only started to get a few notifications this last month, one was from 2016 and the other from Christmas 2017.
Anyway its good it does this.
