Facebook has launched an automated "Look Back" video for every user to mark the social network's 10th anniversary. However, a lot of people are complaining about the pictures chosen in the clip. Fortunately, Facebook will be releasing an edit tool for that video feature to allow its users to customize the clip, according to TechCrunch.

A source says an edit tool for Look Back was supposed to be built in the feature, but it was not ready to be released in time for the firm's anniversary. This tool would allow users to choose alternative photos if they do not like the ones Facebook picked for them, the report detailed.

A support page for Look Back mentions an Edit Your Movie button that still does not exist. This suggests that the tool was supposed to be there right from the start, the report explained.

A Facebook representative confirmed the release of the edit tool: "We will be launching an Edit feature soon that will allow people to change moments in their movies or update the ones they shared. I don't have exact timing at the moment, but this will enable people to remove a post from the movie that was pre-selected and change it to a different one."
