Recent WhatsApp beta builds on Android point to a birthday reminder feature that’s still in the works. If it ships, the app would start nudging you about your contacts’ important dates, a bit like the birthday alerts people already know from Facebook. So far, though, there’s still no public release date.
From the early beta reports, it looks like you’d get a separate Birthdays section with upcoming dates listed in order, plus reminders inside the app when the day actually arrives. It’s a small addition, but on a service Meta says more than 3 billion people use, that kind of feature could land differently, especially in places like India, Brazil, and Indonesia.
Those same reports suggest WhatsApp may draw that information either from birthdays already saved in your phone contacts or from birth dates some people have previously shared for age verification or legal compliance. What’s less clear right now is how accurate that data would be, and what privacy settings people would have over who gets to see it.
For people who use WhatsApp as their default way to talk every day, this one deserves attention. The app keeps picking up more business features, more privacy settings, and work on optional usernames.
Right now, the feature only shows up in recent WhatsApp beta builds on Android, and there’s still no public release date.
