Removing Birthday Notifications on iPhone Mobile A...

PLEASE PLEASE provide an option to disable birthday notifications on the mobile app for iPhone. It is a terrible UX to not be able to remove these and get constant messages for birthdays. 
What's worse is that even after you delete the unwelcomed notifications, they will reappear all day until the birthday has passed.
I mean what is the point of being able to disable them on your desktop/laptop if you can't do it on your mobile device, too?

I don't even have a lot of contacts in my list but it's still annoying to repeatedly get the same notification all day long for each person with a birthday that day.
Disabling the feature is a must but after deleting the notifications for those you do want to be notified about should just delete it. End of story. It shouldn't remind you several times a day. How can such a simple feature be overlooked?
I can't believe this issue has been going on as long as it has and no reply has been given in this thread during the last year. I have the newest version for iOS 7 and the problem must have persisted across at least a couple of versions of the app based on when the problem was first reported.

    This is ridiculous. It seems to be impossible to turn this 'feature' off on iOS devices.  That is annoying. But what is worse... I put in my date of birth on the Skype settings page the birthday becomes 'Public' by default, with no option to make it private.  I dont' want to broadcast my birthday as it often forms part of other sites' ID authentication. I have been using this service for nearly ten years.  If this is the sort  disregard for privacy that will increase under Microsoft's ownership then I'll be off somewhere else. Please fix this issue.  It is unaccptable that you continue to ignore this forum on your own site.  

  • How can I remove birthday date on my iPhone 4

    How can I remove birthday date on my iPhone 4

    Find the person whose birthday you want to delete in your contacts and check if their birthdate is there. If yes, simply edit the contact and delete the birthday field.

  • Birthday Notifications

    I have always had Birthdays on my Calendar.  They appear as soon as you add them in a Contact.  I do not want to remove this.
    Suddenly, in the past month or so, at 11:45 PM, I get a notification sound on my iPhone.  No message is on the screen.  I finally figured out that it is happening 15 minutes before the new days starts on days when I have a birthday showing on my Calendar.
    Again, this was not always the case, so something has changed in setup that I am unaware of.  I do know that Apple made me do a factory reset and this problem started after that.
    Anyone know what in Settings I need to fix so I can stop this notification?  I do not want to remove Birthdays from my Calendar.  Also, this has NOTHING to do with Facebook.  I do not have Facebook birthdays synced to my Calendar.

    You're leaving something out...
    You open your email messages and WHERE is this other heading call "Calendar"?
    Are you opening the main messages list on your BlackBerry?
    or through a browser?
    Yahoo, Gmail, what?

  • Can I use iCloud to synchronize birthday notifications?

    I would like to standardize the way I'm notified of upcoming birthdays. The default on the iPhone is a week before the date, with a limited number of other choices offered. Ideally, I'd like to set things so that there's an alert on my Macs and on my iOS devices at noon 1 week before and a second alert at 8 am the day of the event.
    It seems I can do this for individual birthdays on the Mac where I create the event, but it doesn't propagate through iCloud to my other Macs, nor does it affect the notifications I receive on iOS devices.
    I've not been able to figure out a way to change the default birthday notification settings even so they'll apply to all newly created birthdays I add in Address Book.
    Thanks so much.

    Thanks for the response.
    The links do not explain how I get the thousands of pictures I have accumulated on my PC over the years up into the iCloud. I have 25gb of storage space there.
    Are you certain this is possible? If so, could shed a little more light on how to do it.
    Btw, everything on my iPhone is bouncing back and forth to the iCloud and to Outlook perfectly. It's just my legacy photos that I don't know how to deal with.
    Thanks again.

  • Notifications section in mobile app (like on PC).

    It would be great if you could add a notification counter (just like on the PC version), to read all missed notifications in the mobile App. Because sometimes you delete them from your status bar by mistake.

    I noticed also that the email notification for changed playlist is very poor not user friendly:
    Hi camillo75,
    fimi_it just added Cool Kids and 2 other tracks to the playlist[Top of the music] Week 4 - 2015 - Top Digital
    You are receiving this message because you are following this playlist.
    Why it is not possible to have the complete list of added/removed tracks ?

  • How do I remove pictures from my iPhone that can't be deleted?

    How do I remove pictures from my iPhone that can't be deleted?

    What pics?
    This is very vague.
    If you mean pics that you synced to your iphone form your computer, then delete them the same way. Open itunes, connect iphone, select what you want to be on your iphone, sync.

    Hi asims01,
    Welcome to the Support Communities!
    The information below may be able to answer your questions about how to delete songs from your iPhone:
    Deleting songs downloaded to your device
    Tap the Music app.
    Tap More > Songs at the bottom.
    Scroll or search for the song you would like to delete from your device.
    Swipe right to left on the song, and then tap Delete.
    Note: You must be in Artists, Songs, or Albums view to delete songs from your device. Deleting from a playlist won't remove a song from your iOS device.
    Also, this information can be found on page 64 of the iPhone User Guide for iOS 7
    http://manuals.info.apple.com/MANUALS/1000/MA1565/en_US/iphone_user_guide.pdf
    Remove a song from iPhone. Tap Songs, swipe the song, then tap Delete. The song is deleted from iPhone, but not from your iTunes library on your Mac or PC, or from iCloud.
    If you have iOS 7, this will delete the song from local storage, but the song will still appear with a cloud symbol in the Music app, as you've noticed. To hide the iTunes in the Cloud purchases, navigate to Settings > iTunes & App Store, and disable "Show All: Music”
    There may be a few orphaned songs on your iPhone that were partially downloaded or corrupted in some way. If that is the case, you can erase all of the music from your phone.  Follow the instructions below and select the Music app under Usage:
    iPhone, iPad, and iPod: Understanding capacity

    I hope this information helps ....

  • How can I remove songs from my iphone but they still stay in my library

    I have set up my music to sync only checked items, however, all the songs are still on my iphone.  I only want certain songs on my phone, but it still shows several songs that I have not checked off.  How do I remove songs from my iphone but they still will stay in my library. 

    What you need to do is go to music, and slide your finger to the right on the song you want to remove from your device. The song will still show in the music app but will have a cloud with an arrow beside it and you would have to re-download the song to your device to be able to listen to it. And also, this will only take the song off your device and it won't be removed from your library on iTunes. I hope this helps!

  • How can I remove music from my iPhone that's not on a playlist, or checked off in the Sync window in any of the possible categories (Playlist, genre, artist, etc)? HELP! It's taking up SO much space on my phone

    If it's slow on startup it would be extensions loading or LaunchDaemons starting up. 
    You should have a look in:
    /Library/LaunchDaemons
    /Library/Extensions
    You can count out anything in your home folder and it shouldn't put anything in /System as that's reserved for Apple.
