Remembering someone’s birthday is a great way to show you care about them. Whether it’s someone you’ve known for a while or met just recently, birthdays are a great way to level up your friendship by sending a gift or a message. However, some of us just aren’t that good with dates. Memorizing birthdays can be tricky, especially when you have quite a few loved ones in your life. That’s where Snapchat can come in handy. While some think it’s ‘cheating’ to double check, the important thing is that you’re making the effort to wish them well. If you have someone friended on Snapchat, you don’t have to worry about guessing their birthday. Here is how you can check birthdays on the app.

How To Look Up Birthdays On Snapchat

Here is how you can see your friends’ birthdays on Snapchat. First, open the app. Then, open the chat menu marked with the speech bubble icon at the bottom. Open a chat with any friend, and then select the rocket icon on the bottom right. This will open a window with two menus at the bottom: Games, and Minis. Select Minis, and then you’ll see a list of all the upcoming birthdays of your friends.

Another method is to use your camera. Open the app and navigate to your camera using the circle in brackets icon at the bottom centre. Then, tap the downward facing arrow at the top centre of the screen. This will open up a menu of Minis and Games. Select ‘All Minis’ and then ‘Birthdays.’ This will show you the same list, with the upcoming birthdays at the top and further away birthdays down the list.

How To Set Your Own Birthday

If you think you might have accidentally put in the wrong birthday when you signed up, or just want to check to make sure it’s right, you can set your own birthday, too. After all, confusion between MM/DD and DD/MM format happens to the best of us. First, open the app, and then tap on your bitmoji on the top left to access your account. Then, go to settings, which is marked by a gear icon. Next, go to ‘my account.’ From there, you’ll be able to edit your birthday, along with your name, username, contact info and more.
