Do you want to know where your friends’ birthdays are on Facebook? We’ll tell you how to see them from all devices and how to add them to your Google Calendar.
Remembering all of your friends’ birthday dates is quite a challenge, which is why several social networks have decided to come to the rescue of their users. On Facebook, for example, there is a special section where you can view the list of birthdays of your contacts not only day by day, but also for the months to come.
Thanks to the popular social network you will also be able to find out when they blow out the candles even people who are not among your contacts, and add all the dates of your interest in Google Calendar or in one of your digital diaries. Do you want to find out how to view your friends’ birthdays by browsing Facebook from your computer or smartphone? We explain it to you in this guide.
How to view Facebook birthdays from your computer
If you’re browsing your Facebook profile from a computer, viewing your friends’ birthdays will be pretty simple. After logging in, you won’t have to access your personal profile but stay on the Home page. In the sidebar on the left, select Events, and in the next window click on Birthdays.
Now, you’ll see on the top screen all the birthdays of the day, and further down the recent ones (recent birthdays) and those expected in the coming days (upcoming birthdays). Scrolling further, you can then view a box dedicated to people who will have a birthday in the current month and, gradually, in the months to come.
Or you can also view the birthdays of the day in the News Section of Facebook, in the sidebar on the right, with the words “Birthdays” accompanied by a gift box icon. Clicking on it will open a window dedicated to friends whose birthdays are coming up, to whom you can instantly send your best wishes by typing your message in the “Write in his diary” field.
A last possibility is to access the profile information of the user whose birth date you don’t remember. After typing the name of the person in question, select the About > Contact & Basic Information tab: this way, under the “Basic Information” item you should see a birthday cake icon with the date of birth. You can also use this system to find out the birthdays of people who are not on your Facebook friends list.
How to see Facebook birthdays from your smartphone using the official app
Due to the widespread use of smartphones, it is very likely that you will have to use Facebook from your phone using the official app. It’s important to note that if you use Android and iPhone devices, there is no section dedicated to Birthdays under Events. Here’s how you can find out the birthdates of your friends.
How to view birthdays on Facebook Android
The only way to view birthdays on Facebook Android is to access the Personal Information of a profile to view its date of birth. To do this, you’ll need to click on the magnifying glass in the top right corner and type in the name of the person you’re looking for in the search field.
When it appears in the results, click on the name and you’ll be directed to their personal page. Here, select the “View information about…” item and scroll down until you get to the Basic Information item: next to a pie icon, you’ll find the date of birth you were looking for. Se così non fosse, l’utente potrebbe aver nascosto questa informazione per motivi di privacy.
