You racking your brain, when was Sarah's birthday?

The Charm of the Contacts Tab
First things first, dive into your Contacts.
No, not the address book on your phone, but the one within Snapchat itself.
This is where the magic sometimes happens.
Birthday Alerts
Keep a hawk-eye on the contacts list, Snapchat displays a birthday alert with a cake emoji right next to your friend's name if they've linked their birthday.
It’s subtle, almost like Snapchat is playing hide-and-seek with your social calendar.
If you see the cake, bingo! Birthday intel acquired!
When Snapchat Plays Coy
But what if you see absolutely nothing?
No cake, no candles, just the usual smiling (or smirking) Bitmoji staring back at you.
Don’t despair! There are a few other tricks up our sleeve.
The Profile Deep Dive
Tap on your friend's Snapchat profile.
Sometimes, just sometimes, if they’ve made their birthday public (a brave and rare move in the age of privacy), it might be lurking there, in plain sight.
Consider it the Snapchat equivalent of finding a hidden treasure chest.
The Brute Force Method (With a Dash of Cuteness)
Okay, let’s be honest: if all else fails, just ask!
Send a snap, maybe a silly selfie with a question mark hovering over your head and ask, "Hey, when's your birthday? Trying to plan a super-secret surprise! 😉"
It’s direct, it’s cute, and it gets the job done.
The Unwritten Rules of Snapchat Birthdays
Now that you're armed with this knowledge, there are a few unwritten rules to keep in mind.

Respect the privacy!
And secondly, the best birthday wishes are always the heartfelt, slightly embarrassing, and filter-filled ones.
So get snapping!
Embrace the Snap-taneity
Finding your friend's birthday on Snapchat can feel like a mini-adventure.
It’s a reminder that even in the digital world, some things still require a bit of effort, a dash of curiosity, and maybe a well-timed selfie.
So go forth, unlock those birthdays, and spread the Snapchat birthday cheer! Remember to tag them on your stories.
