How to View Birthday Notifications on Facebook
If you’re friends with somebody on Facebook, and they’ve set their birthday to be publicly available, you should receive a notification on the day of their birthday as long as your notification settings aren’t disabled.

Facebook may also alert you to birthdays when you sign in by prompting you immediately above your contacts list in the top-right corner.
How to View Upcoming Birthdays on Facebook

How to Find Birthdays on Facebook Profiles
For Facebook friends with visible birth dates on their profile, it’s easy to look this information up at any time by visiting that friend’s profile. If you can view the data, you can check the date.

- On your friend’s profile page (or another Facebook user’s public profile), select the About Info option to view more information.
- If the friend you’re viewing has their birthday listed on their Facebook profile, this will be visible in the Basic info section.
Using Facebook Effectively
Finding birthdays on Facebook is just one way you can use the platform to stay informed and keep in touch with old friends and distant family. For example, you can use custom Facebook friends lists to organize your friends into different categories or use Facebook’s sharing tools to limit or increase access to your posts.
If you’re nervous about snoopers, you could use self-destructing messages in Facebook Messenger to make sure your secrets remain secret. You could also use Facebook Pay to send or receive money from your friends. Or, if you’re bored, you could try watching some free-to-access video content using Facebook Watch.
