Q: iOS 10 birthdays in notification center/today view

In iOS 9 there was a line underneath the date in the Notification Center/Today View that displayed something like "Today is John's 37th birthday".

 

This seems to have vanished in iOS 10 or am I the only one who has this?

 

The "Up Next" widget can't handle this either because birthdays are saved as all-day events & this widget doesn't show all-day events...

iPhone 5s, iOS 10

    Hi Kevin,

     

    no, I checked that behaviour. A friends birthday is today and it is not visible in the widget's "what's next and"calendar". Added a "all day"-events to see if it's a bug in the Birthday tag in the contacts, but it does not appear as well. So i think its a bug in the all day events. Did you report this to apple?

     

    BTW: i had a hard time trying to add a date of birth to a person, ios was ignoring the year entry. After trying several times, it worked.

    I've noticed this as well, I don't want an active notification of everyone's birthday (which you can choose to alert you in settings) the passiveness of that notification was perfect, now it's gone. Why did they remove this, why not provide the option to have it off and on.. I feel as though it should be handled by the "up next" widget.. The information was included in the "Today Summary" even told you happy birthday when it was your birthday..

    I Just tried changing my own birthday to today, and no where does it say "Happy Birthday, Shane" like it used to

    I too have the same issue.. i hope they resolve this soon and this happens to all entries in calendar with all-day events.
