Members Birthdays

I was looking for a members birthday on lds tools and none were listed. When I mentioned it to someone in my ward, she promptly pulled up her lds tools and showed me that she indeed had birthdays listed on hey lds tools. Is there a setting for this or why does mine not show birthdays?
Thanks in advance

Access to birthdays is dependent on your calling. Most members do not have access to the birthdays of members of the ward, but clerks and leaders do have access.

Okay thanks, I guess that explains it, she was the RS secretary.

I DO have a calling with access to birthdays, but it's a struggle to find it every month. I wish you'd make it easier to find. I've been looking for this months for the past 15 minutes. Grrr!

It's at Reports > Birthday List.

We have noticed recently that several birthdays in the actual birthday report are off by a day when compared to the membership record (which is correct) in LDS tools. Not sure how to get this fixed.

Send feedback through the app. It appears that in iOS there was a shift in the time-space continuum around March 10th or 11th.

Same here in iOS and Android: Birthdays of all members of our ward are one day off. LCR (website) show the coorect birthday though.

The LDS Tools birthday list jumps from Dec. 2020 to Jan 2022 and then nothing after Jan 2022. I deleted the app and reinstalled it — no change. I also did a data refresh and still no change. Is there something I need to do or is this a problem glitch?

As I’m seeing the same issue, I suspect that it is something beyond our control. Use the apps Help/Contact option to report it.

As a sidenote LDS Tools doesn’t exist anymore, it is now called Member Tools. It has been called that for at least 2 years!

2021 must be a leap year! (Sorry, couldn't resist. )
I'd recommend sending feedback using the in-app Contact Us option.

The latest beta version has fixed this issue, so when the release candidate goes live, you will see plenty of birthdays listed! The Primary members issue also appears to have been fixed.

In the birthday report Tools is showing all upcoming birthdays as 2020 and then 2022, but nothing for 2021. Just FYI bug report, and I am not sure about Android. Also, members have reported that they have uninstalled, reinstalled the app.

Sad to me that they only allow leaders to have access to the birthday list.

I am a leader. My name is [name removed]. I am an assistant secretary in Joliet 1st Ward Relief Society.

I am guessing you expect someone to give you a birthday list for your unit. No one here can do that for you since the forum is user-to-user discussions and self help support and we are users, like you, with no access to your unit membership information. You will need to contact your ward clerk for assistance with the information you seek.

I'd ask the ward clerk to put you in the standard calling for Relief Society Assistant Secretary rather than a custom one and then you should be able to get into LCR and get the list yourself whenever you need.

I am a stake YW president. I'm trying to access the yw birthday lists for next year's camp projections. Should I have access?

According to the Access table - no.

The ward YW presidency does have access. I'd ask them for the numbers or ask the stake clerk.
