Facebook has been falling out of favor over the years and many of its users, like me, no longer access the social network as often, probably because they have migrated to other social platforms.However, one thing that is still very useful on Facebook is the built-in birthday notifications.I particularly use Facebook basically for this, and to log into other websites and apps.I recently found myself thinking, what if I had all these Facebook birthdays on my Google calendar? As I already use Google Calendar for my everyday stuff, it would be much more practical. So if you're in the same boat as me, be aware that it is possible to sync all your Facebook birthdays to the calendar and Google Calendar app.

With the use of a Chrome extension and a few clicks, you can sync your Facebook birthday calendar with Google's.In this way, Google Calendar, which becomes the default calendar service on most mobile phones out there, will help you not to forget the special day of your friends, family and colleagues.

So enough of the fuss and let's learn how to transfer the birthday schedule from Facebook to Google Calendar.
