How to Remember Birthdays on IPhone
Most of us find it very hard to remember birthdays and end up offending friends or relatives. While we are morally obligated to wish our loved ones, it truly does become hard to remember certain days or dates given the pace of life today. The classic method of keeping a diary for all important information is one effective solution, but the advent of smartphones has made diaries and pocket notepads redundant.
Smartphones allow users to maintain data and schedule reminders for certain events. The iPhone has been one of the industry’s leading smart phones and has several features which can help one organize his/her appointments, events and set up notifications; leaving you with no excuse when it comes to remembering birthdays.
