Up until a couple of years ago, I’d constantly browse through
newspapers, local magazines and ticket sites to find new happenings in
my city. With Facebook, that all changed — events posted on the social
network are easy to find and track, with venue and date/time info at the
ready. And the best part is that you can sync all these events (as well
as your friends’ birthdays) to your iOS device Calendar.
I, for one, find that syncing my calendar
with Facebook makes my calendar infinitely more useful — at a glance, I
can see whose birthday it is, what shows I can look forward to that day
and my personal engagements as well. This way, I can plan my day for
work and play all at once. Here’s how you can sync your Facebook events
and birthdays with your calendar:
- Install the Facebook app and log in with your account details.
- Hop over to the home screen and launch Settings, and then scroll down to find Facebook in the list of apps.
- Tap Facebook to check out settings for the app — you’ll see a list
of apps that you can allow to use your Facebook account. Turn on this
setting for Calendars.
Find Facebook in the iOS Settings menu and allow Calendar to use your account
- Pop over to the home screen, launch Calendar and tap the Details
button to the left of the search button. You should be able to see
events and birthdays for every day marked on the calendar with a dot
below it.
Tap the Details button (in red) to view events and birthdays for each day
- Tap on any listed event to view more details. You can also tap on a
listed birthday to view that person’s contact info, and tap his/her name
under the Facebook field to visit their profile and wish them a
splendid birthday.
