Facebook lets you wish contacts a happy birthday with Stories

Facebook on Thursday revealed a new Stories feature that helps users celebrate birthdays on the platform.

According to the company, birthday stories are “a way for friends, family and everyone in your community to add digital birthday cards, photos or videos to a story celebrating your big day”.

Essentially, the new feature allows you to create a personalised birthday message on Stories for any of your Facebook contacts that are celebrating.

“Just tap on the birthday notification, shoot or upload a photo or short video or use one of our digital birthday cards, and you’ve instantly got a birthday wish,” the company explained on its blog.

The birthday-person can then view curated wishes dedicated to them in a single story.

Stickers and the Happy Birthday song can also be added to these posts.

The birthday stories feature is available worldwide.
