This wikiHow will teach you how to find out who’s birthday it is on Snapchat by looking at your friend list. Unfortunately, it isn’t possible to someone’s birthday in advance, as the special birthday cake emoji won’t appear until the person’s actual birth date.

Things You Should Know

• Open Snapchat and navigate to the My Friends list in the profile page.
• Look for the cake emoji next to your friends’ names. This indicates that it’s their birthday!

Steps

1. 1Open Snapchat. This app icon looks like a ghost on a yellow background that you can find on one of your Home screens, in the app drawer, or by searching.
2. 2Tap your profile picture. You’ll see this in the top left corner of your screen next to the magnifying glass.Advertisement
3. 3Tap My Friends. It’s under the “Friends” header.
4. 4Scroll down and look for a cake emoji next to someone’s name. If it’s anyone’s birthday, a cake emoji will display to the right of their name.[1] X Research source
