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
Hey there. I figured out the problem at least for me. Even tho I had birthdays set to remind me the day of at 9, they still wouldn't remind me. I figured out that I had to set "all day events" to remind me at 9 in the morning as default. Now I'm being reminded about birthdays. Birthdays in iOS 10 now seem to be handled as "all day events". Hope this is helpful.

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
Tengo el mismo problema, espero que apple tome medidas ya que ayer casi se me salta un cumpleaños....

I have the same problem, I hope Apple take action because yesterday I almost skip a birthday ....
I too have the same issue.. i hope they resolve this soon and this happens to all entries in calendar with all-day events.
Hi there, I just saw this and it might help in iOS10.
Go to:
Settings > Calendar > Default Alarm Times > Birthdays
You can change other settings as well in this menu.
I've changed this to see if it works.
Works fine now!!
I think since the last update... maybe
Still not fixed here, iOS 10.0.2.
I have this set as a temp fix for this issue. You get an alert at a set time but with iOS 9 you could see this 'birthday message' all day long beneath the date in your notification center.
I personally liked that more than a calendar popup reminder and it seems I'm not the only one. Hopefully Apple will fix this in an upcoming release of iOS.
I have to say that to me if I get the notification that all day long in the notification area. it's curious. To me it started me to work much notice at 9 the same day as notification all the time until you delete it.
Example of today. iPhone sent me an alert at 9:00 am
I have the same issue..its a bug from iOS10 and someone should to fix it:) on macOS Sierra works fine, iOS 9 too... only iOS10 not;/ any reports was send to Apple Support?
Still no fix by apple. Hey support, any reactions?
