A simple list of family and friends' birthdays, with reminders so nothing slips.

What this does

  • Stores name, relationship, month and day, and (optional) birth year.
  • Sends up to three reminders per birthday: two days before, the night before, and the day of.
  • Lets you choose who in your household gets reminded.

When to use this

  • When you sit down once a year to add the family birthdays.
  • When a new friendship or relative comes into your kids' lives.
  • After a school year starts and class friends become more present.

How it works

  1. Open Birthdays from the menu.
  2. Tap Add birthday.
  3. Enter name, relationship (Family, Friend, Work, Other), month, day, and birth year if you want age to display.
  4. Choose your reminder times — turn each on or off and pick the time of day.
  5. Pick which household members should be reminded.
  6. Save.

Common questions

  • Do I have to enter a birth year? No — but it lets you see ages.
  • Can I add a wedding anniversary? Yes — relationships are flexible. Use Other.
