Is there a way you can set birthday reminders on Gmail and have them every year send you a reminder?

I don’t know how to do that on gmail, but Google has a calendar that will do that easily. It will send you email, or even a text message to your phone. It’s easy to set recurring or individual events. I use it for all my appointments, anniversaries birthdays, classes, dentist and Doctor visits, etc.

Create a new calendar, set it to send notifications automatically to your email, and when you add birthdays, mark them as annual events.

Ok. @LC_Beta that sounds great in theory, but when I don’t know how to add the birthdays. Some help please?

You go to Calendar, click on ”Create Event”, then you just fill it in, it will ask you when do you want it to remind you again, and you choose ”Yearly”.
