Hi, when I add a birthday to an existing contact and click Done, the birthday gets added but within 2 seconds, the contact gets refreshed and the birthday is removed. What's causing this?
Thanks

Do you have other "Contacts" defined, e.g. Gmail?
If you contacts are coming from Gmail they will not be updated. Only iPad Contacts are saved correctly.
Go to "Contacts" and open „Groups" (the folder icon top left), if you have other than iPad , switch them off and see if the contact you want to save is still there (I.e. in your iPad Contacts).
So the answer is, update the contact in the source "Contacts " app/software.
This is happening in iOS 14 as well. Specific to birthday. Contacts are stored in iCloud and gmail.
Can confirm. Since Update to 14.0.1 this is an issue! Fix it!
I am also having this issue and even some of my exisiting contacts, I have lost their birthday details
I have version IOS 14.0.1 but this issue still exists
Problem is, there are situations where it's extremely awkward to ask a person to reveal their age. Then you use a made up birth year in your contacts, which is not ideal.
Exactly!!!
I also thought upgrading from my 8 would fix the problem. One of the reasons I bought this 12 was to fix the issue.
Just add a year. It seems to have fixed all.
Thanks yoyomot.
