Repeating events, ages and counts

Make birthdays come back every year, and show the age or the count.

Set an event to repeat and it rolls over by itself: the moment this year's date passes, the countdown starts for next year.

Set a repeat

  1. Open the event and tap Edit, or start a new one.
  2. Tap Repeat and choose how often it comes back. Yearly suits birthdays and anniversaries.

Ages and counts

A yearly repeat can also show which one it is. Enter the year it began, and a birthday can read as someone turning 30, or an anniversary as its 10th. You will see the option when a yearly repeat is set.

Good to know

  • A repeating event never moves to Past. It always points at the next occurrence.
  • Deleting a repeating event removes the whole series.
  • Alerts repeat with the event, so a birthday reminder set a week before fires every year without being set again.
