We’ll explain how to turn on birthday notifications and turn them off again if you change your mind. Plus, we’ll show you how to do both in the Facebook mobile app, website, and desktop application.
Facebook Birthday Notifications on Mobile
Staying up to date with birthdays is easy if you use the mobile app. Open the Facebook app on your Android, iPhone, or iPad to start. You can use the arrow on the top left to exit each screen and return to the main Facebook area and your news feed. To disable the notifications later, just return to the same settings and turn off the toggle for Allow notifications on Facebook.
Facebook Birthday Notifications on the Web
Adjusting your birthday notifications on the Facebook website might be a more convenient option for you. If so, it takes only a few steps. You can use the Home button at the top when you finish to return to the main Facebook screen. To turn off the notifications later, return to the same area of the settings and disable the toggle for Allow notifications on Facebook.
Facebook Birthday Notifications on Desktop
If you use the Facebook desktop application on Windows, you can edit the birthday notifications there similarly to the web. As of this writing, there is no official Facebook desktop app for macOS. You can select the Home button at the top when done to return to the main screen. To disable the notifications later, return to the same area of the settings and turn off the toggle for Allow notifications on Facebook. With Facebook birthday reminders turned on, you’ll never forget to send your pal or family member birthday wishes on their special day. For alerts you don’t want to see, look at how to delete Facebook notifications.
