Google Calendar app

[anon(8312128)]

Question about Google Calendar app ... how do you get birthdays to show up in there?? I'm using Google Contacts and Google Calendar together (Oreo 8.1.0). I've got birthdays entered for a lot of my contacts, but they don't appear in Google Calendar.

I must be missing something.

Sorry about that ....

Calendar > Settings > Birthdays > Google (your account) > "Include birthdays" from either Google+, Contacts, or do not include birthdays

Birthdays are showing up in my Google Calendar app, but it failed to give me a notification of any kind yesterday when there was a birthday.

Odd ... I have the app set up with all notifications turned on, but never got any kind of notification yesterday on a birthday.

Anyone else with this issue?

There is a nice Calendar widget in the Play store if you hate that bright white Google widget. Search for Calendar Widget: Month by candi apps. It's not a stand alone app, just a widget connected to the Google calendar.

I don't understand why Google is so slow to adopt dark themes options, which are easier on eyes and consume less battery (with amoled screens).
