      Hi Dolly Hussain ,

      Thanks for leaving a comment , Don’t worry there is still option available to export the calender . New Facebook update just changed the option . instead of “today” option you gotta select “birthdays” options which is at the bottom right corner of “Events” tab.
      Select – > Events -> Here you can see ” Events for you ” below , now if you take a look beside right corner of this “Events for you ” you can see “upcoming events & birthdays ” now right click the birthdays and select copy link location and follow the above tutorial for the rest . Soon i will write a post explaining this in detail.

    Hi,
    I have followed all your steps and all my fb birthdays are synced to my phone now.
    But I don’t get notifications. When I go into my calendar I can see all the birthdays but I never get notifications.
    I can’t seem to edit these birthdays either. Any tips?
