Wishing someone a happy birthday on Facebook nowadays has become so common. But have you ever missed out on wishing that one, special person because you did not access Facebook that day, of all days?
In Facebook you have notification settings that help remind you of your friends’ birthdays but it will be easier to keep track of all the dates if you could add all your Facebook friends’ birthday to your iPhone calendar.
Export The Facebook Calendar
First, you need to export your unique Facebook calendar information:
-
Log in to your Facebook account and click on Events located on the left navigation panel.
-
Look for the gear located on the right side of the page and click on Export.
-
A small popup will be on screen with two links, one for Birthdays and another for Events. Copy the link for your friends’ birthday.
Right-click then select Copy link address if you use Google Chrome; Copy link location for Mozilla Firefox; or Copy shortcut for Internet Explorer.
Adding Facebook’s Calendar To Your IPhone
If you use iMessage on your Mac, send the link over to your iPhone. Tap that link on your iPhone. Hit Subscribe. And you’re done, or simply email the link to urself and open the email on ur iPhone and click the link and hit Subscribe
To Keep Track Of Birthdays
To see the birthday calendar, go to Settings > Mail, Contacts, Calendars > Subscribed Calendars.
In your iPhone Calendar App, you’ll notice that most of your dates are filled with names. If you enabled Calendar for the Notification Center, you’ll be able to see all the birthdays of today and the days to come.
