How do you add your All-Day calendar events to Notification Center in iOS 7?

Now that iOS 7 has been relseased, my All-Day calendar events do not show up in Notification Center. I can see my daily events, but things like Birthdays and other All-Day events do not show. How do I fix this? Or is this something that Apple needs to fix in an update?

iPhone 5, iOS 7

At this time it doesn't seem that this can be done. Been pointing folks to http://feedback.apple.com If you wouldn't mind dropping them a line, the more they hear it, the more likely it is to be fixed.

As a couple people already said, I don't think this is a bug. It's their design choice.

But this doesn't mean we can't ask them to make it better for us.


As it seems, All-Day events are used a lot by a lot of people and putting them on NC would be a huge PLUS for us.


I'd love to see this happening and as far as I know, opening a ticket on http://www.apple.com/feedback/iphone.html and asking for this new feature is the best thing we customers can do, right?

I am, too, frustrated about my all-day events not showing up in my Notfication Center. This isn't a solution to the problem but it is an option.


Go to Settings-->Mail, Contacts, Calendars-->Default Alert Times-->All-Day Events-->Choose Time


You can add an alert for your all-day events so that a reminder pops up at a specified time and stays in your Notification Center until you dismiss it. Unfortunately this only works for the events you add after you make this change and not before.


Hope this issue is resolved soon!

I had the same issue for birthdays: they showed up on my calendar but not the notification centre (only some did). Then I realized the birthdays that were not showing up in the notification centre were not saved onto the contact (that is, maybe the data came from Google or Hotmail or who knows where). I opened the contact individually and added his/her birthday. After that, the birthday showed up in the notification centre ("today is x's birthday")

Why are you surprised that Apple hasn't responded here? This is a user-to-user tech support forum. Apple's participation is minimal. They don't make announcements here or respond to feedback. This was explained in the Terms of Use to which you agreed when you registered.


Best of luck.

well, that is unnecessarily harsh. "respond" simply means responding to the issue, i doubt the poster specifically meant responded here. besides, apple does monitor what people say on social media as well as the message boards it hosts. and i bet my farm many people contacted apple about this issue as well. the point is that the whole thing is ridiculous! why on earth wouldn't NC display the events when the events are properly scheduled. it even tells you that you have x numbers of all day events tomorrow, but tomorrow comes and there is nothing. stupid!
