Reader Matteo Gamba of TransferWise shared the screenshot above with SocialTimes, in which the cake icon appears next to the names of friends celebrating birthdays on the current date.
Facebook has emphasized birthdays in various ways over the past few years, including:
- Moving birthdays to the top of the mobile News Feed in October 2012.
- Introducing the cake icon in November 2012.
- Adding prompts to use its Gifts feature under birthday reminders in May 2013 (Gifts was discontinued last August).
