Gone are those days when a ‘tweet’ meant the ‘chirping of a bird’, notebook meant the pages of a book, evenings meant time for outdoor games for kids. Social media helps you remain connected with online friends, but has unfortunately lost the human connect among people. You will be shocked after knowing the fact that you haven’t communicated with half the people on your Facebook friends list. Social media platforms have also allowed people to escape from meeting up or ignoring people.
Many of us do depend on our smartphones to remember the birthdays of friends. Facebook, in a way, also works like a reminder for its users to wish his/her friends a Happy Birthday. Human relationships, in a way, have lost the charm of personalised wishes via cards or emails.
A report by The Next Web stated that Facebook has introduced a new code number for Happy Birthday, which is a part of Facebook’s SMS notification functionality.By accepting the Facebook SMS notification feature, you will receive an SMS from Facebook reminding you about your friend’s Birthday.

Typing a Happy Birthday message might just take away an extra minute of many. To make it much more complicated, Facebook users just need to type 1 and Facebook will responsibly send a Happy Birthday text to your Birthday buddy.
This can be most beneficial to the lazy lads who just wish their friends for formality. Facebook can’t replace the affectionate message written specially for your friend by introducing this shortcut.
Do you prefer to send a personalised message to make your friend feel special on his/ her Birthday? or Are you one of them who will just send a programmed Facebook post – Happy Birthday with the help of 1?
