How to Choose the Dates to Mash

Pick which snippets go into your mash

Written by Marilyn García

When you start a mash, you choose which snippets go into it: a month, a year, a season or your own selection.

On iOS

  1. Tap the play button in a project to open the Mash Your Memories screen.

  2. From here, you can select to mash by Months, Years, Seasons, Core Memories, Shuffle or Custom:
    ​

    • Months: Snippets are grouped by the month they were added. Use this to mash a specific month (e.g., September ’25).

    • Years: Snippets are grouped by year. Use this to mash an entire year (e.g., 2025).

    • Seasons: Snippets are grouped by season (Winter, Spring, Summer, Fall). Select this to mash snippets from a specific season.

    • Core Memories: Mash only snippets tagged as Core Memories.

    • Shuffle: Generate a random 30-second mash of your memories.

    • Custom: Manually select the snippets you want to mash.

      Core Memories appears once you've tagged at least one Core Memory, and Shuffle once your project has more than 30 seconds of snippets.
      ​

On Android

  1. Tap the round play button in your project.

  2. Tap Choose Dates on the mashing screen.
    ​

In this drawer, you can choose between the following options:

  • Week: Mash either this week or last week.

  • Month: Mash either this month or last month.

  • Year: Select a specific year to mash.

  • All: (Android only) Mashes the entire project.

  • Custom: Manually select snippets to combine from your project's timeline.

  • Date Range: Choose a specific date range, providing starting and end dates.
