Are you tired of trying to remember everyone’s birthdays and feeling like you need to memorize the specs of every new smartphone release? We’ve all been there! But fear not, because calendars and events are here to save the day. And when it comes to keeping track of special dates, Google Calendar is the ultimate lifesaver – for me, and probably for you too.

Many people rely on Google Calendar to remember birthdays, setting up yearly reminders for their loved ones. And it seems like Google has been listening to our prayers because an upcoming update might just make adding birthdays even easier.

Android-focused publication Android Authority and code detective Assemble Debug recently discovered a hidden “Birthday” feature within the latest Google Calendar update (version v2024.21.0-637471596). This new feature is expected to revolutionize how we add recurring birthday reminders.

Currently, adding birthdays to Google Calendar involves creating a full-day event that repeats every year – a bit cumbersome, right? But fret not, as the new “Birthday” feature promises to simplify this process significantly. This handy tool will take care of everything for you, making it easier than ever to add birthdays without all the manual work.

While setting the birth year may not have any immediate effects, it could come in handy in future updates. The update also hints at a dedicated button that will make adding even more birthdays to your calendar a breeze – so you’ll never miss a reminder again!

But before you get too excited, keep in mind that this new birthday shortcut isn’t available in Google Calendar just yet. So for now, we’ll have to stick with the old way of adding birthdays. Whether Google will roll out this feature or not remains uncertain, so stay tuned for further updates on this front.

In the meantime, let’s continue relying on good old Google Calendar to keep track of those important dates!
