Snapchat is a popular messaging platform that you can use to message your friends in a fun way compared to normal texting platforms. You can use the text feature normally or you can send your friends snapshots of what you are doing.
Snapchat has many social aspects in addition to being a messaging platform. You can add people you know using the search bar and you can accept requests. When you create your Snapchat account for the first time, you must provide your email and phone number as usual, and the date of birth. This allows your friends who don’t know your birthday to remember you through an emoji.
Snapchat puts an emoji next to your name when it’s your birthday. This allows people to send you snapshots and also reminds them that it is your birthday. Any photos you receive that day will be gift wrapped. By default, people can see the cake emoji next to your name when it’s your birthday. If you don’t want this emoji next to your name, you can disable it.
Hide birthdays on Snapchat
1. Open Snapchat.
2. Touch your profile in the upper left corner of the screen.
3. Tap on Settings in the upper right corner.
4. Tap Birthday below My account.
5. Disable Birthday Party.
On your birthday, the birthday cake emoji will not be displayed, so your friends will not be notified. You’ll continue to receive fun surprises, like gift-wrapped brooches, that no one but you will know. The next time your birthday comes around, you will know who is really important. However, expect to be a bit disappointed, as in this day and age most people tend to rely on social media to remember the birthdays of their colleagues and friends.
