Contacts import reads supported birthday fields after you grant access. You decide which matching contacts to import.
Steps
- Choose Import From Contacts.
- Grant Contacts access when iOS asks.
- Wait for contacts containing birthday information to load.
- Select the people you want.
- Import and review the resulting diBirthday records.
Before you finish
- Only contacts with usable birthday data can appear.
- The import creates records; later Contacts edits may not automatically update them.
- Running import again can create duplicates if the same people are selected again.
Tips
- Import a small batch first.
- Check calendar type and year after import.
