Finding birthdays on Google primarily involves utilizing Google Calendar. Here's how:

Accessing Birthdays in Google Calendar

To view birthdays in your Google Calendar, ensure that the "Birthdays" calendar is enabled and that your contacts' birthdays are correctly added.

  1. Open Google Calendar: Go to calendar.google.com or open the Google Calendar app on your device.
  2. Check the "Birthdays" setting: In the left sidebar (or menu), look for "My calendars." Expand it if necessary and make sure the checkbox next to "Birthdays" is selected. If it's not checked, birthdays from your contacts won't appear on your calendar. This is the primary method for viewing birthdays within Google Calendar as described in several sources ([Quick Guide to Google Calendar Birthdays](Quick Guide to Google Calendar Birthdays), Manage birthdays on your calendar - Android - Google Calendar Help, Manage birthdays on your calendar - Computer - Google Calendar ...).

Troubleshooting Birthday Display Issues

If birthdays aren't appearing even after enabling the "Birthdays" calendar, consider these troubleshooting steps:

Manually Adding Birthdays

If you need to add a birthday that isn't already in your contacts, you can manually create a new calendar event:

  1. Create a new event in Google Calendar.
  2. Enter the birthday details (date, time, name).
  3. Set it to not repeat.

Remember to save the event! (Adding a birthday to the Google Birthday calendar who isn't a ..., Create a birthday event on your calendar)
