"On this Day" feature, where does it get photos from?

I keep photos absolutely elsewhere (DCIM camera folder synced with Google services). OneDrive synced files have 0 photos and yet some come out with random "on this day" photos. How the hell does it know them?

  • "On This Day" pulls from more places than just your OneDrive files.  I think it scans photo attachments in your Outlook emails, images shared in Teams chats, photos embedded in Word or PowerPoint files, and even screenshots.
