I have many birthdays assigned to contacts in my phone. These are all saved on iCloud. My iPad displays the birthdays, my iPhone does not. I have contacts and calendar syncing but my birthdays don’t sync. The calendar doesn’t even have the option to add the birthday calendar. Apple support and Apple Store couldnt help me.
iPhone 13 Pro
See if this works:
Sign into your iCloud account at iCloud.com and go to the calendar.
Click on the circle with the dots inside to reveal a menu, the click on Settings and in the Appearances tab see if you have a tick in the box labelled 'Show Birthdays Calendar'. If not, click on the box.
The idea of this is to generate the Birthdays calendar on your iCloud account and all the devices signed into that account. You could also try to deactivate it, then after a pause reactivate it. This might then create it on the iPhone. I think it's an outside chance but worth a try nevertheless.

Literally the same. iPad shows the calendar fine, but the iPhone won’t. Store tried the same things as Apple support but no luck. They also tried something on my online iCloud. No luck either. If anyone finds a solution it’ll be greatly appreciated!!!
I've had this problem for years, the same situation as you. iPads show the birthdays, but my iphone will not. I've changed iphones, did updates, everything. I also contacted apple support and they couldn't help me either. What did they say in the store?
Hi David,
Thank you for the suggestion. Sadly, this did not fix the issue. I revealed the birthdays on iCloud and hard reset the iPhone. Did this a few times, but no luck.
best,

Mine does this same thing, was there ever a fix?
No, never managed to find one. Contacted Apple support online and in store but no luck.
iPhone does not have Birthday’s Calendar
