Frequently Asked Questions
How does Birthday Book find my birthdays?
It reads the birthday field saved in your phone contacts and searches your calendars for birthday events. You can also scan handwritten lists, import PDFs, or add birthdays manually.
Does Birthday Book upload my contacts to a server?
No. All your data stays on your phone. Contact and calendar data is read locally and never sent anywhere. See our
privacy policy for full details.
I accidentally denied contact/calendar access. How do I fix it?
Go to your iPhone Settings → scroll to Birthday Book → toggle on Contacts and/or Calendars. Then open the app and import again from Settings → Re-sync Contacts.
How do I get Google Calendar birthdays?
Your Google account needs to be synced to your iPhone's native calendar. Go to iPhone Settings → Calendar → Accounts → Add Account → Google. Once synced, Birthday Book can read those birthdays automatically.
What are AI birthday cards?
Upload a photo of the birthday person and choose a style (watercolor, cartoon, elegant, etc.). The AI transforms their photo into a personalized birthday card you can attach to your text message.
How much do AI cards cost?
You get one free AI card to try. After that, individual cards are $0.99 each (with one free redo per purchase). Pro subscribers get 1 AI card/month, and Premium subscribers get 10/month.
Does Birthday Book send texts automatically?
No. Birthday Book opens the Messages app with the message pre-filled. You always tap Send yourself — we never send anything without your confirmation.
How do I cancel my subscription?
Go to iPhone Settings → tap your name → Subscriptions → Birthday Book → Cancel Subscription. You'll keep access until the end of your billing period.
How do I restore my subscription on a new device?
Open Birthday Book → Settings → Restore Purchase. Make sure you're signed into the same Apple ID you originally purchased with.
I lost my birthday data. Can I get it back?
If you didn't export a backup before deleting the app, the data is gone — it was only stored on your device. We recommend using the Export Backup feature in Settings periodically. You can always re-import from contacts and calendars.
How do I scan a Facebook birthday list?
Go to facebook.com/events/birthdays on your phone, screenshot the list, then use "Scan from Photos" in Birthday Book's import screen. The AI will read the names and dates.
Tip: Use Export Backup in Settings to save your birthday list as a file. If you ever delete the app or switch phones, you can import it right back.
