By Jamel Brown Picture this: you log on to Facebook after a long day of work or working out or playing a sport. You look at your notifications to find one that states, “It’s ______ ______’s birthday today! Wish him/her a happy birthday!” Sweet relief floods all over your body to know that Facebook has your back so you don’t forget one of your good friends birthday. The birthday feature is the first thing that comes to mind when I think about my favorite thing about Facebook. In my opinion it is the best feature that a social media app has that I can anyone can ask for. It’s the fact that you can be anywhere at any time in the day and Facebook always has your back with someone’s birthday if you forget. Now, it may become a little annoying if you don’t know that person but everything comes with pros and cons so my best advice is to ignore it and move on or wish them a happy birthday. The birthday feature on Facebook can only save you if you put your real birthday into your Facebook log in. If you don’t then it will give people false happy birthday notifications and make you look silly so there is also a great risk behind it so be careful. Honestly though, you’re better off knowing and it is safer to know your friend's birthday but it is a really cool and clutch feature to help you remember. I wish that this feature would spread to other apps like Tik Tok or Instagram, maybe even Twitter. To briefly conclude, I think that Facebook has many cool features that we overlook like reactions, and saving posts but the birthday feature to me takes the cake.

I love this article! What a creative idea to write about! More like this! How about the article about the minute Boomers start using an app, it immediately becomes uncool and kids stop using it and move on to something else. Is that true? asked a Boomer.

I agree! However, I also miss getting the cards in the mail. - maybe I am old?
