Finding the Facebook Birthday Calendar
Facebook shows you birthdays one notification at a time, but there’s actually a way to see all upcoming birthdays in one place. Here’s how to find it.
On Desktop (Web Browser)
Method 1: Direct Link
The fastest way — just visit: facebook.com/events/birthdays
This page shows:
- Today’s birthdays
- Recent birthdays (last few days)
- Upcoming birthdays (next week)
Method 2: Through Events
- Click the menu (≡) on the left sidebar
- Click “Events”
- Look for “Birthdays” in the left menu
On Mobile App
The mobile app makes this harder to find:
iPhone/Android
- Tap the menu (☰) or your profile picture
- Scroll down and tap “Events”
- Look for “Birthdays” tab or section
Note: Facebook frequently moves things around in the mobile app, so these steps might change with updates.
Exporting Birthdays to Your Calendar
You can export Facebook birthdays to Google Calendar, Apple Calendar, or Outlook:
- Go to facebook.com/events/birthdays on desktop
- Scroll down and look for “Upcoming Birthdays”
- Click the gear icon or settings
- Look for “Export birthdays” or calendar sync option
Heads up: Facebook has removed and re-added this feature multiple times. It may or may not be available when you try it.
The Problem with Manual Tracking
Even with the birthday calendar, you still have to:
- Remember to check it daily
- Manually write and post each message
- Keep up with 5-10+ birthdays some weeks
- Deal with time zones and timing
It’s better than getting surprised by notifications, but it’s still a lot of work.

If you want to stay on top of birthdays without daily maintenance, Social Birthday Bot handles everything automatically:
- Tracks all your friends’ birthdays
- Sends personalized AI-written messages
