At the moment, birthdays that appear in Google Calendar are based on Google Contacts information, but manual creation is now coming.
why is this news, though? before contacts integration was a thing i created yearly-repeat events for birthdays of family and close friends.
i now get reminded twice! once for my manually-created entry and once more for the contact integration.
... It never occurred to me to put birthdays in the contacts. I've only got recurring events!
Same here. Why should I do both...?
I guess putting them in the contacts is simpler, and automatically comes up. Presumably it's one click from the calendar reminder to the contact so you can call/text them.
Dunno, not a big deal either way.
Same here! I feel like we should get paid for giving Google this fantastic idea.
