how to do this with ios?
Hi Harshad, the procedure is still same all you need to download Google Calendar on your iPhone from App Store and you see all your events on your Google calendar or you can add Google Calendar with your Calendar app from settings.
The address that you provided did not contain a calendar in a valid iCal or GData format.
this error showsup. Tried a lot but same result. Am i copying url wrong way?
Hi Sohil, just checked again it’s working properly. Did you try above steps. Also check the address you copied, it should start with webcal:
Mine is doing the same. Doesn’t start with webcal
The problem is it will just add the birthday after the actual day, we are in April, so anything before April is not added…
Yes it will see birthdays after you setup so you can see birthdays before April in next years calender.
Thank You soo much.. i hv been searching for so long to fix this in my Android.
Thanks a ton….!!!!!!!!!!
Superbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbb
Admin u there?? I m facing same prblm as sohil
Can you paste the url in this format?
webcal://wwww.facebook.com/ical…
Top tip. Thank you so much. I’ve been looking for this solution and yours was, by far, the simplest and most effective.
Hi there, I’m having the same problem as Sohil. I’ve followed your steps and get the error message “the address that you have provided did not contain a calendar ical or GData format”. Apart from that, under my events on Facebook I have the following: Upcoming, calendar, subscribed, past and create. I DO NOT have Birthdays, so I assume I copy the URL of the calendar? Done this and get the above message. I’m using Android 6.0.1. Any help would be greatly appreciated
I had the same problem until I realized I was copying the wrong link. There are two ‘birthday’ links on the page. One to the top left side of the screen, the other to the bottom right hand side. You need to copy the latter link, not the former
superb…..!!!!!
Now you can Synchronize your Facebook events/birthdays in Xiaomi Mi Calendar …Details
