Ok, let’s be honest, does anyone know where anything is on the Facebook app anymore? The app seems to change from week to week, and with it, our favorite functions get tossed around. Facebook is definitely a lifesaver when it comes to birthdays (who even remembers birthdays anymore?). If you’re looking to find out who’s birthdays are coming up here is how you can go about it.
How does Facebook know my birthday?
When you sign up for Facebook you are asked to input your date of birth to prove that you are over the age limit for the app. Facebook uses this information and publishes it on our profile as your birthday. Of course, like everything on your Facebook profile you can always opt to hide it away.
Facebook sends out a notification every day letting you know whose birthday it is that day. This little reminder is a great way to stay updated with your friends’ birthdays!
