How Do I Stop Facebook From Putting Birthdays on My Calendar?
Newer phones are less likely to automatically synchronize Facebook events to your calendar. Though if you’re using an older device/operating system (or manually allowed Facebook to sync with your calendar), you may still need to revoke some permissions. Your first option is to refuse access. If the Facebook app asks you for access to your Calendar, or asks if you want to save an event to your calendar, deny it.
For iPhones and iPads
You won’t have to go through preventative steps if you’re using iOS 11 or later, as Facebook calendar syncing has been removed from more recent versions. It is possible that calendar remains, however, if you previously used Facebook in an earlier version of iOS and then updated to a newer one. If you’re using something older than iOS 11, go to Settings > Facebook > Calendars, then turn Facebook calendars Off.
For Android Devices
The method for Android devices uses the Google Calendar app.
In the Facebook App
You can also turn off these calendar elements in the Facebook mobile app.
