We’ve all been there, having to make up after forgetting the birthday of someone special. Fortunately, Samsung has developed a feature that will help save you from future embarrassments.
This new feature will likely be introduced with the updated Samsung Contacts app in One UI 9.5.
Samsung Contacts gets several interesting features with One UI 9.5
AndroidAuthorityconducted a teardown of the Samsung Contacts app and found code referencing this new feature. The app will have a dedicated section for birthdays where it will clearly show Past, Today, and Upcoming birthdays.
The Contacts app currently lets you save birthdays of individual contacts, but it doesn’t show whose birthday might be today or coming up around the corner. Samsung will make this feature even more useful by including shortcuts that let you send birthday cards and gifts from within the Contacts app.
Lastly, it will also add a birthday sharing option so that you can share your own birthday with your contacts, after you’ve set it in your profile. Contacts will then be able to see your birthday when they open up your contact information in the app.
