finding up coming birthdays for friends on Facebook with the Iphone Facebook app?

[Peter Greco]

Is there a way, and if so how please, on the Facebook app on the Iphone is there a way to find up coming birthdays for friends? On the day they are there, however, can one check for a few days ahead, if so how please?

Amy to Peter,

I have my Facebook events, including Friend birthdays, added to my Calendar app on the iPhone.

Go to settings, Facebook, calendars. I have this set to add events only.

Then go to settings, calendar. Find and select default alert times. birthdays:I have selected at 9 AM on the day of the event. You could select this and change to a different notification such as one day before, two days before or one week before. also under default alerts I have all day events, which include birthdays, set to a one week notification.

Then you need to go to settings, notifications scroll to calendar and make sure it is toggled on. If you don't do this step you will not be notified about your calendar alerts. Go through those settings and set as you like. Also, scroll to Facebook and turn on notifications. Scroll through those settings and set as you like.

Go to the Facebook app and open Facebook menu. Select settings and privacy. Then select settings. Scroll to notifications and select. Scroll to birthdays and select. I have my birthdays set to push only. I am notified about the birthday in the notifications tab on the day of their birthday. However, because of the above settings they are also listed on my calendar. When I'm swiping through upcoming events each birthday is shown on the calendar so I can see events early. If you selected in the calendar settings to be notified a week early and you turned calendar settings on in notification settings then you will be alerted a week in advance about your friends birthdays. Under these Facebook notifications, birthdays you could also receive email or SMS/text notifications about your Facebook friends birthdays.

I think that covers everything about Facebook friend birthdays.

HTH,

Amy
