DS just asked me if he was born at 7.30 as snapchat app shows place and time of birth, he showed me so its def correct.

he didnt really know what time he was born and theres nowhere on the app to add it anyway. how have they got this info?

I'm not sure if he's saying he didn't add it but there's definitely a place to add it as I've just checked mine, maybe he already added it so loses the option once already done

What is the Astrological Birthday feature?

However, despite the sudden outpouring of consternation, it appears to be extremely unlikely that Snapchat has suddenly unearthed the details of your birth.

Instead, it seems that the information that displays under on the settings page was inputted by users themselves, but long enough ago that they have forgotten doing so – hence the sudden shock.

An update released by Snapchat in mid-November last year introduced a series of new features connected to astrology, including “astrological compatibility” and the “astrological profile”. Google tells me.

It must be a coincidence, or he asked someone in the family. It's not something that's recorded anywhere apart from maybe in a red book for parents to keep. I don't suppose your doctor would even know.

he didnt know though...didnt know what time he was born

its correct though!

I just checked mine and when I clicked on that the time it gave me was the current time so is it possible that he just so happened to click on it at the time he was born.

he showed it to me early afternoon, maybe 3 ish. it also shows town he was born in

he knew we had lived near the town but didnt know where he was born exactly. we were armed forces when the children were small and moved around a fair bit and our garrison was out of town.

im not freaked, just interested really. the info must be somewhere or i may have provided it on his behalf at some time. he was surprised so came to show me
