Calendar and Reminders imports help reuse existing dated information. Because source titles and recurrence rules may not describe birthdays perfectly, review every imported result.
Steps
- Choose the appropriate import source.
- Grant access when iOS requests it.
- Select the source items that truly represent birthdays.
- Complete the import.
- Edit each new record to verify name, date, year, calendar, and reminder timing.
Before you finish
- An imported event is copied into diBirthday rather than continuously linked.
- Recurring source items can produce unexpected dates if their rules are unusual.
- A general calendar event is not automatically known to be a birthday.
Tips
- Avoid selecting unrelated anniversaries or appointments.
- Check for duplicates before repeating an import.
