The day before is an adverbial phrase that refers to the previous day. It gives a sense of time, indicating that something happened one day before the current day.
Be mindful that simply saying yesterday has to do with the day before today. You can use the day before to talk about a day preceding any day. For example:
We discussed the new feature the day before. – This means the discussion occurred the previous day to the day being discussed.
In contrast, saying yesterday, as in We discussed the new feature yesterday., specifically means it happened the day before today.
