How to Remove Birthdays from Apple Calendar

Bitcoin has brought a wave of financial innovation and accessibility in the world of digital currencies. If you're looking to eliminate unwanted birthday notifications from your Apple Calendar, this guide will help you do just that.

Method 1: Removing Birthdays on an iPhone

To remove birthdays from your Apple Calendar on an iPhone, follow these steps:

Navigate to the Calendar app. Locate the Calendars button at the bottom center of the screen. Tap the Calendars button and un-check the box next to Birthdays.

Method 2: Removing Birthdays on a Mac

For Mac users, the process is slightly different. Follow these steps:

Navigate to the Calendar application. Go to Calendar Preferences. In the General tab, un-check the box next to Show Birthdays calendar.

By following these steps, you can effectively remove birthdays from your Apple Calendar, both on your iPhone and Mac.

Deleting Birthday Information from Contacts

If you've added birthdays to people on your Contacts list or imported contact information from elsewhere, the Apple Calendar is tied to these contact events. If you delete this information from your contacts, it will also be removed from your calendar.

Disabling Birthday Notifications Without Removing Contacts

There's also the option to disable birthday notifications without removing the contact integration:

Navigate to Settings. Scroll down to Mail, Contacts, Calendars. Tap on Calendars. In the Default Alert Times section for birthdays, switch the setting to None.

This will allow you to keep the contact information while eliminating the notifications.

Address Book Integration with Exchange/Google Contacts

Some users are experiencing issues where birthdays are being pulled from their Address Book, possibly through Exchange or Google Contacts. In these cases, the integration might persist, even after disabling it in the Calendar app. Here’s a workaround to potentially resolve the issue:

Navigate to the Calendar app. Select the Calendars button at the top left. Find the Birthdays calendar and un-check it.

If the issue still persists, you may want to check the notification settings for the Calendar app. However, be cautious as this setting will turn off all calendar notifications, not just birthdays.

By following these steps, you can better manage your calendar and reduce unnecessary notifications, enhancing your overall experience with Apple Calendar.
