I asked Siri "What is my location", and it came up with my address and details, including my full birthdate.
I don't want that on my device.
I also then went into it, and it showed my birthday and age in my calendar.
I don't store my date anywhere, so why is it showing, and if it is in the settings on my iPhone somewhere, where would it be and can it be edited/removed?
iPhone 5s, iOS 7.0.4
So, you didn't enter a Date of Birth when you signed up for your Apple ID?
Calendar gets birthday information from Contacts.
It's in the Contacts but not a field I can edit. I don't know where it is stored.
If I enable all fields, I can see the name of mine that is it stored in, and I can edit everything, except Birthday.
While the phone is locked to me only, I don't want details like that to be shown on the phone.
Can this definitely not be removed?
Open the Contacts app to your contact record. Tap Edit (upper right of screen). Scroll to the Birthday field. Tap the ➖. Tap Delete.
I've removed the contact of myself from the iCloud (as it isn't needed at all), and that is has now gone from the phone.
The other one is in Facebook. Facebook stores the DOB for security reasons I suppose.
But I don't display the full details to people, only the month and day. So why is it feeding it all back to the phone?
Under that contact, there is no Edit.
It is definitely Facebook.
Even with Facebook not turned off in my Contacts Groups, it still finds it when you ask Siri the question of my location. I don't know why that information is being passed to me on my iPhone when I ask where I am.
I abandoned facecrap quite some time ago, so I can't help you with that. But there are circumstances when having your own contact record is useful (autofil in Safari for example).
I've worked it out.
I went into Settings, Facebook, disabled it's using my Contacts.
I then went into my Outlook contacts, added myself and all details I want to be "public" on there, and it appeared on my phone.
On the phone though I see that you can add fields that cannot be done via Outlook, such as Spouse. So have added that.
Now when I ask that question of What is my Location, it comes up with only what I want it to know.
Thanks for your help everyone.
Glad you got it sorted out.
Why is my birthday engrained in the calendar?
