How it's used
Focuses on the calendar date rather than the exact moment of an action. It implies a shared temporal space within a twenty four hour period, whereas 同時 refers to events happening at the exact same instant. Use this when connecting two distinct events that happen to fall on the same date.
Examples
They both have birthdays on the same day, it is really fate.
Did you go to the supermarket too on the same day you went to the bank?

Common phrases
held on the same day
announced on the same day
Common mistake
Do not use this to mean simultaneously. If two people are talking at the same time, use 同時 instead, as 同日 strictly refers to the date on the calendar.
