I think it’s using the daft American date system of m/d/y
But it says ‘DD/MM/YYYY’ just above the input field
EDIT: it’s very possible that the input field library they use uses the American date format by default and they didn’t change it…

Dev: But it works fine on my system!
I’m happy that I taught the BA and project lead learned how to clear all site data for the application I work on. It has reduced the huge amount of
“the issue is still there!”
“Clear the cache”
“It works now”
And yes, I know I should be using something that notifies the browser to invalidate its cache. I’ll add it to my mile long list of tickets.
Just want to say that DD/MM/YYYY is the superior date format. 💪🗓️
The only thing worse than mm/dd/yyyy is dd/mm/yyyy. Use a bloody different separator if you’re writing dates correctly.
It’s already in use for mm/dd/yyyy. When I see slashes I expect that, when I see dots I expect dd.mm.yyyy, when I see hyphens I expect yyyy-mm-dd.
And then comes along a random I guess Canuck and writes something totally incomprehensible.

No, it’s already in use for dd/mm/yyyy. When the majority of the world sees slashes (with the four-digit year at the end), they expect that. Americans are the ones making things ambiguous.
Do we have a community yet for IAm14AndThisIsFunny?
Image Transcription:
A screenshot from the setup of the Remind mobile application with an image of a calendar and the text
"What is your birthday?
This will stay private to you and will help keep Remind safe
Birthday
DD/MM/YYYY"
Followed by a text field that has been filled out with the date “17 / 02 / 2008”.
Below the text field is the red error text reading “Please enter a valid date”
