Fun Phone Games for Birthdays♡

Did you know there's a popular birthday game using the smartphone calling feature that's currently trending on Instagram abroad?

Check out this reel video!♡

When your phone gets a call...

The name displayed on the incoming call screen is none other than [HELLO 26]!♡

Which means!

On your 26th birthday, you receive a celebration call from someone saying, “Hello! Welcome to the world of 26 years old!”

Many people overseas refer to this as [Birthday Calling] or [Birthday Calling on phone].

In Japanese, you could say "バースデーコーリング," "バースデーコール," "バースデー電話," "バースデーテル," or "誕生日コーリング."♡

Editing the Incoming Call Name and Image is a Must!

When you receive a call, the screen goes dark by default on an iPhone, right?

But if you're going to play this birthday phone game...

It's recommended to set it so that not only the name but also an image with a birthday feel is displayed!♡

[How to Set It Up] for iPhone

1. From your contacts, press the "Edit" button on the individual page of the person making the call.

2. At the top, there’s an option to "Add Photo," so set a picture there.

3. Change the name to "HELLO ○○."

Then, when you receive a call, it will display like this!♡

The message can be something other than [HELLO ○○], like:

[Happy Birthday]

[Happy YUKI Day!!]

[30 years old]

[Welcome to the 30's world]

These could also be great options.

When filming the video, arrange cakes, flowers, champagne glasses, and other party elements around your smartphone to enhance the festive atmosphere!♡

I found many posts about birthday calling on TikTok too!♩

You Can Also Do a "Wedding Call"!♡

The birthday calling game that's trending in overseas reels could also be replicated for marriage registration or wedding day events, right?♡

You could set the name displayed on the incoming call screen to something like this.

[Mrs. TAKAHASHI]

Since you got married, it’s “Mrs.”♡

[2022 11.22]

You could set this for your wedding anniversary!♡

[Today is Big Day!!]

On the morning of your wedding day♩

It’s not just a birthday call; it’s a Wedding Call!♡

Definitely try this with your partner or friends!♡

The Birthday Calling where people receive calls on their birthday is trending on Instagram and TikTok.

If you want to film like people overseas:

1. The smartphone of the person receiving the call

2. The smartphone of the person making the call

3. The smartphone for shooting the video (you can’t shoot a movie while making a call)

You’ll need these three devices!

Team up with your partner or friends and give it a try!

I’m planning to have fun with it on my boyfriend’s birthday next time!♡
