Peggy and all
Up until about a week ago, on the Facebook app on Iphone, after going to notifications friends's birthdays would be there! As you say below!! However, this has stopped! I know that 3 friends have had a birthday in the last 3 days, nothing has appeared? Any thoughts? I'm almost certain I haven't changed anything! Any suggestions - help would be wonderful please?

It seems to be a bug with voiceover.

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.

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.

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.
