If you’re like me you can’t stand getting Facebook birthday notifications. Especially Facebook Birthday notifications that alert your phone or let you know that friends you have not spoken to since elementary school are having birthdays. The thing is if you’re not my family, good friend, or someone I care about, I just don’t want to be notified by my phone or Facebook that it is your birthday. There are a lot of people in my same boat, and fortunately, we can disable Facebook Birthday notifications and stop them from reaching our phones.
