We all love a good birthday party. It’s something we have been doing since we were very young. Blowing candles, making wishes, eating cakes and unwrapping presents. Birthdays always have sweet memories associated with them. There was a time when remembering everyone’s birthday was difficult. But now, with the help of Facebook, it’s very easy to keep track of birthdays. Also, all of your “friends” on Facebook can easily “remember” your birthday. Whether they are your colleagues or cousins that you only meet during family weddings. They will all remember your birthdays. However, when someone wishes you on your special day based on a notification on their Facebook homepage, it doesn’t really feel that special. Also, if you know that somebody remembered your birthday and took the time to message you directly without any prompts from Facebook, that gesture will become far more endearing to you. If you are interested in avoiding a litany of fake birthday wishes and find out who all remember your birthday without the help of any notifications, you can choose to hide it from everybody else on your Facebook account. Interested in doing that? This post has got you covered. Let’s find out.

The simple solution to stop others from getting notified about your birthday is changing the privacy settings of your birthday.
