Snapchat usually puts a little birthday cake emoji next to the person’s username when it’s their birthday. This can be useful to remember and send birthday wishes amidst our busy schedules. And it especially helps if you are keeping streaks!
But how do you see upcoming birthdays on Snapchat?
There’s a slight variation in the methods to retrieve upcoming birthdays in Android versus an IOS device, but the results are the same!
Let’s see how Snapchat helps us plan a little ahead regarding birthdays.
How To See Upcoming Birthdays on an iOS Device?
Snapchat offers a wide range of app features that extend beyond interactive gimmicks. Checking upcoming birthdays can be very useful.
Let’s see how to navigate that on an iOS device:
- Launch the Snapchat app on your iOS device.
- Tap on the chat icon at the bottom navigation bar.
- Tap on any chat to open it. Do not tap on the friend’s Bitmoji, as it will open the profile.
- Tap on the rocket-shaped icon on the bottom right corner of the screen.
- Press on ‘Open‘ next to ‘Birthdays.’
- Now you can see all upcoming birthdays, starting with the closest one.
How To See an Upcoming Birthday on an Android Device?
Using Snapchat is quite similar on Android and iOS devices. However, the interface is slightly different, so the steps can vary slightly.
It would be best to make sure you have the most recent version of Snapchat and that your device is updated.
Let’s have a look at the steps required to see the upcoming birthdays of your friends on Snapchat on your Android device:
- Launch the Snapchat app on your android device.
- Click on the chat icon at the bottom navigation bar.
- Click on any chat to open it.
- Once the chat has opened, tap on the rocket-shaped icon on the bottom right corner of the screen.
- Tap ‘Birthdays.’
- Now you can see all of your friends’ upcoming birthdays in chronological order.
How To Set Up Your Own Birthday?
We assume you want your own birthday to be remembered as well! For your friends to know your birthday in advance, you need to set up your birthday via your profile too.
Here are the steps required to set your birthday:
- Launch the Snapchat app on your mobile device.
- Tap on your Bitmoji in the top left corner.
- Tap on the settings icon in the top right corner.
- Select ‘Birthday‘ under “My Account.”
- Set up your birthday or change the date if it’s wrong.
- Tap on ‘Continue.’
- Tap on “OK” to confirm the changes.
Now your friends will also be able to spot your birthday in their ‘upcoming birthdays’ and get a notification on your birthday!

We are living in a highly digitized world. And the irony of it is that we forget birthdays even with phones in our hands, almost always!
Apps like Snapchat give friendly reminders to save us embarrassment. However, what Snapchat does differently is that it provides a list of future birthdays, which comes in very handy as the nature of the app is of everyday use.
