GoKawiilSamsung Contacts app in development to add dedicated birthday tracker
Code found inside the Samsung Contacts app suggests the company is building a new birthday-tracking section expected to arrive with One UI 9.5. The feature would sort contacts' birthdays into Past, Today, and Upcoming categories, and may add shortcuts for sending cards or gifts.
GoKawiil's interpretation of the reporting above, not reported fact.
Currently Contacts only lets users store a birthday on a profile without surfacing who has one coming up, so this addition could make the app more useful for everyday social upkeep. Since the findings come from an APK teardown of unreleased code, the feature is not confirmed and could change or be scrapped before any public release.
- Samsung Contacts may gain a dedicated birthday section in One UI 9.5.
- Birthdays would be grouped into Past, Today, and Upcoming categories.
- The feature could include shortcuts for sending birthday cards or gifts, though it remains unconfirmed.
