This wikiHow teaches you how to see your Facebook friends' upcoming birthdays using an iPhone or iPad. Although birthdays used to appear on the Events calendar, you will now find them on a special page called Birthdays. And if you're worried you'll forget your friends' birthdays, you can customize your Facebook notifications so you'll always be notified of upcoming birthdays.
Facebook Birthday Calendar App
I hope this article will help you to find what you need. Using the above methods you can easily find all the upcoming birthdays in a few clicks. If you are stuck on a mobile app, then try it using a PC.
You should now see all your Facebook friends' birthdays in your Google Calendar. If you're a heavy Facebook user, you can repeat the process with the Upcoming Events link. You'll never miss a party again!
If you're using both Google Calendar and Microsoft Outlook, you can also sync Google Calendar and Microsoft Outlook using a third-party app. And when a birthday comes around, don't forget to share some of the best birthday memes with your friend. Meanwhile, add free calendars to keep track of all those other holidays and special events.
Facebook events will no longer automatically sync to your calendar on Outlook.com, Windows, Windows Phone and Microsoft 365. As a workaround, you can subscribe to a link that Facebook provides from Outlook.com calendar.
The Windows Live Essentials Calendar and Contacts functionality will continue to work, but it will no longer receive birthday event or contact updates from Facebook for connected accounts. As a result, birthday events or contact information for the Facebook contacts may become outdated.
Birthday reminders are nice but not if they keep popping up each day for every contact that has a birthday filled in.I don't need a popup birthday reminder. Especially not for every contact that has a birthday. I don't want to edit all contacts that I do or don't want to be notified about. Seeing them in the calendar app will be enough for me.
An other option would be to disable calendar birthday events but somehow I still get the annoying reminders popping up each day. ( And with me some others according to some forms I've read ) And this also disables viewing them in the calendar app.
I will know by tomorrow if the 'trick' above worked but since I didn't find any q/a how to disable all birthday reminders easily I posted this here in hope to find a good answer that will fix this problem once and for all. Maybe I found an answer but if you could confirm it that would be great!
Yes. This should work. As you are aware, when you (or the Facebook contact) inputs their birthday into the contact, iOS creates a new calendar called "Birthdays". On both iOS and OSX you have control over the notifications that you receive for each birthday that is on that calendar.
You can also disable the Birthday calendar on your iOS device altogether by opening the Calendar.app, tapping "Calendars" in the upper left corner, and scrolling down to and tapping on "Birthdays". You will see the check mark next to it disappear and the birthdays will no longer show in your calendar.
No, this doesn't work. Birthdays set to none in settings and Birthdays calendar unchecked and still getting those annoying facebook birthday reminders. Tried uninstalling facebook but that doesn't seem to work either. Facebook is like a persistent virus. Grr
I'm not sure if anyone figured it out yet, but I just had some luck and finally turned it all off from the Settings/Mail, Contacts, Calendars then Calendars section and under accounts i just clicked all of them individually and turned off the calender tab, in addition to having birthdays switched to none as previously mentioned.
Social media has devalued the birthday by flooding our timelines with the felicitous anniversaries of people far beyond our close friends, family, and colleagues. This is nowhere clearer than in your calendar, which you might find unexpectedly clogged with birthdays every day of people you might not even remember.
Just be aware with either using a smart group or manually deleting birthdays, the next time you import contacts or decide to sync with another service that you could be refreshing that birthday list again.
As others mention, this is buggy. I had the wrong birth day for a friend in Contacts, so I replaced it with the correct date. But in the calendar both dates now appear, and there is no way to remove the wrong one.
You can put a lot of information, like birthday, in Notes and it will not clog up your calendar with notifications. Then, for those people you wish to have in your calendar, you can also write them into your calendar, select repeat, choose annual and even set a reminder (or 2 or 3) for whatever interval you wish.
If you want to only show important dates in the Birthday calendar, but want to keep their birthdays, simply go to the next Green Plus section below add birthday, named add date. This is usually used for anniversaries, death, confirmation, and the like.
Calling distant friends and relatives on their birthdays is fast becoming an obsolete tradition. These days, people just leave a casual message, often copy-pasted from elsewhere, on social media platforms like WhatsApp and Facebook. Even more troublesome is the fact that it is difficult to remember all the birth dates of all the people you know.
Wishing someone on his/her birthday is one thing and planning for it is another. If there was an app that could remind you of the coming birthdays, you could buy a gift, maybe plan a surprise party or just make a mental note to wish them?

IFTTT is a crazy powerful tool that you can use to connect with hundreds of apps, services, and websites. To use it just as a birthday reminder app would be doing injustice to it. If you are not already familiar with it, I would strongly suggest you to check it out. A productivity powerhouse.
