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
- Open the ••• menu and choose Import.
- Choose Import From Calendar or Import From Reminders.
- Grant access when iOS requests it.
- Choose a calendar or reminder list, or keep the all-items option.
- For Reminders, leave Exclude Past Reminders on unless you need older items.
- Select the source items that truly represent birthdays. Use Select All to toggle every currently visible item.
- Check the count in the Import button, complete the import, and verify the new records.
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.
- Select All applies to the currently displayed or filtered list.
Tips
- Avoid selecting unrelated anniversaries or appointments.
- Check for duplicates before repeating an import.
- Touch and hold a birthday in the main list if you need to batch-delete an accidental import.
