Have trouble remembering the birthdays of all your friends, family, and co-workers? Luckily, the Apple iPhone comes to the rescue with automated birthday reminders. All you have to do is add birthdays within the Contacts app and flip a switch in Settings. Here’s how to set it up.
First, for this to work, you must have notifications enabled for the Calendar app. To turn that on, visit Settings > Notifications > Calendar and set the switch beside “Allow Notifications” to “On.”
Also, you’ll need to have some birthdays defined in your Contacts app. To do that, open Contacts, then tap a contact from the list, select “Edit,” then tap “add birthday.”
