Using PC or Mac Since this procedure will add calendar feeds to all your devices this is the preferred method. You can do the same thing with the birthday calendars on Facebook; simply click on the export your friends birthdays link from the dialogue as above. Click subscribe, and you’ll get a separate Facebook birthdays calendar in your Calendar app. Sync your Calendar via iCloud, and you’ll see these two calendars on any iOS device that’s synced with the same iCloud account.
Birthday reminders are nice but not if they keep popping up each day for every contact that has a birthday filled in. I don't need a popup birthday reminder. Especially not for every contact that has a birthday. I don't want to edit all contacts that I do or don't want to be notified about.
Seeing them in the calendar app will be enough for me. For this reason I decided to just turn the birthday notifications off. One way of doing this is to disable calendar notifications. But that sucks.
Now all calendar notifications are turned off. An other option would be to disable calendar birthday events but somehow I still get the annoying reminders popping up each day.
( And with me some others according to some I've read ) And this also disables viewing them in the calendar app. Then I read this: Go to Settings/Mail, Contacts, Calendars then Calendars section: Default Alert Times/Birthdays. Switch it to None. I will know by tomorrow if the 'trick' above worked but since I didn't find any q/a how to disable all birthday reminders easily I posted this here in hope to find a good answer that will fix this problem once and for all. Maybe I found an answer but if you could confirm it that would be great! Originaly asked the question for iOS 6, but this still is a valid question for later iOS versions ( v10 at the moment of editing ).
What i would really like to know is if you can turn off alerts for specific birthdays. I dont mind being reminded a day before for someone important but for the rest, it's ok to just be in the calendar. I dont need an alert.
I went to the event on the calendar app and switched the alert to none. Once i exited and went back in, it goes back to '1 day before', like someone is turning it back after i turn it off. Really strange. Anyone tried this? This is for iOS 10. Be great to hear someone with experience or an answer to this. – Dec 4 '17 at 1:26.
This should work. As you are aware, when you (or the Facebook contact) inputs their birthday into the contact, iOS creates a new calendar called 'Birthdays'. On both iOS and OSX you have control over the notifications that you receive for each birthday that is on that calendar. Like you said you could can go and turn of the notifications which should prevent notifications from actually appearing.
Note, however that the birthdays should still show in Notification Center. You can also disable the Birthday calendar on your iOS device altogether by opening the Calendar.app, tapping 'Calendars' in the upper left corner, and scrolling down to and tapping on 'Birthdays'. You will see the check mark next to it disappear and the birthdays will no longer show in your calendar. It, of course, would be easy to turn them back on temporarily in the future if you wanted to look up someone's birthday.
Never forget anniversaries again!! This app manages all the upcoming birthdays and important anniversaries, and reminds you of them in advance. Not only keeping track of anniversaries which come once a year but also it can remind you of the 100 days or 1000 days from a specific event.

IOS's calendar allows you to display birthdays but not anniversaries even after you can add that information in your contacts. I think this is a bug (or missing feature) with IOS. While you can display anniversaries plus other iphone calendar entries in one place (on your phone calendar)-they data from anniversary Reminder will NOT upload/backup to (or be visible on) icloud (for sharing).

Also Disappointed Here, Disappointed Up until recently I used to love this app. Sadly, the last several months it has proved to be nothing but a headache! 1) When entering a new anniversary it either crashes and doesn't save anything or 2) Adds another duplicate calendar (titled 'Anniversary Reminder') to my iPhone Calendars or 3) both; in any event it has become a useless mess. As to any support regarding problems with it. The support link goes to the page just explaining basic information about this now totally dysfunctional and useless app!
