Home News World Sports Entertainment Science Royal Trending Health Videos Technology WhatsApp tests birthday dates in contact info screen WhatsApp feature pulls birthdays from the phone's address book and displays them right below the contact's name

WhatsApp is quietly building a feature that could save users a trip to their calendar app every time they want to check a friend's birthday. The company is testing a dedicated birthday field inside the contact info screen, spotted in the iOS beta version 26.38.10.70 available through TestFlight.

WhatsApp places the new field near the top of the contact info screen, right after the contact's name and last seen status. Users won't need to scroll to find it. The placement makes the detail hard to miss the moment someone opens a chat's info page.
