Setup Birthday Alerts on iPhone

In order to setup birthday alerts on iPhone, you first need to tell your iPhone the birthday dates of your family members, friends and relatives.

This can be done using the Contacts App on iPhone, which allows you to add Birthdays and important dates in its Contact details section.

Once you add birthdays in the Contact App for all your important Contacts, the Calendar App on your iPhone should display these birthdays.

Additionally, you can also setup birthday reminders or alerts on your iPhone. Depending on your choice, your iPhone can alert you on the day of the occasion, 1 day early, 2 days early or a week before the date.

How to Add Birthdays to Contacts App

Open the Contacts App on your iPhone and tap on the Contact for which you want to setup birthday alerts on iPhone. On the Contact’s detail screen, tap on the Edit option located at the top right corner of your screen.
