On the calendar, I can set people's birthdays with a yearly reminder so they think I'm super thoughtful for remembering their birthdays. But the phone notified me.
Happens automatically if you put the birthday on the contact, too
That's not an Android feature, every digital calendar does that.
oops
Birday is a nice simple app that I like, it shows all upcoming birthdays and how many days until they happen. Just pulls the data from your calendar so no setup needed.
As a forgetful person this feature is absolutely essential. I put the person's name and year of birth in the calendar event too.
I had a coworker that had the birthdays of his contacts at the end of each of them, so he would see that date anytime he chatted with them (us?) through WhatsApp.
I don't question his methods, but that worked for him.
