Facebook allows you to update your profile details on the website, but they discourage you from doing so too often. It is also possible to change your birthday in the mobile app. However, it is important to note that some restrictions and limitations do exist, and you should be aware of them before making changes. This article will walk you through the process.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Limitations_on_changing_your_birthday_on_Facebook\"><\/span>Limitations on changing your birthday on Facebook<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Facebook limits the number of times you can change your birthday. In fact, you&#8217;re limited to three attempts. To avoid a relapse, you should always enter the correct date and age. Facebook doesn&#8217;t let you change your birthday too often, and if you accidentally do so, you may have trouble recovering your account. Fortunately, there are ways to change your birthday more frequently than once. Here are a few simple steps:<\/p>\n<p>If you want to change your birthday on Facebook, you must wait at least 14 days after your last change. This limit is for security reasons, as you can&#8217;t regularly change your birthday without disrupting your timeline. Facebook also asks for an official ID document to confirm your identity. If you&#8217;re unsure whether or not you&#8217;re eligible for this, check out these tips for changing your Facebook birthday. You&#8217;ll be surprised at how easy it is!<\/p>\n<p>If you&#8217;re wondering how to change your date of birth on Facebook, read on. The social network doesn&#8217;t allow you to change your date of birth more than three times per year. However, if you&#8217;re concerned about your privacy, Facebook has a privacy setting that lets you delete third-party applications. Doing so could cause your account to be blocked by Facebook or endanger your privacy. To change your birthday on Facebook, you must be 13 years old. If you&#8217;re below the age limit, you can try requesting to change it via messenger.<\/p>\n<p>Facebook does not block your account for changing your date of birth, but it does have a limit of three times per year. The limit is imposed to discourage users from abusing the system. Facebook will not block your account for three changes. After this, you can only make one change a week. After three changes, your birthday is no longer visible on your timeline, but your friends will still receive a notification when it&#8217;s your birthday on the next day.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Restrictions_on_changing_your_birthday_on_Facebook\"><\/span>Restrictions on changing your birthday on Facebook<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Facebook users can change their birthdates to prevent their friends from being able to find out their date of birth. They can change their basic information like email address, password, and birthday to keep it private. If you&#8217;ve mistakenly entered your birthday and now want to change it, you can change it at any time. You can change your privacy settings to &#8220;Only Me,&#8221; but remember that you should not share your date of birth with people who don&#8217;t have your consent or are not a public user of Facebook.<\/p>\n<p>To change your birthday on Facebook, you must be logged in and visit your profile page. Click on your profile picture to open the menu screen. Next, click on &#8220;Profile,&#8221; which will take you to your profile page. Once there, click on &#8220;About Info.&#8221; After clicking on the &#8216;About Info&#8217; option, you can choose your current date of birth. If you haven&#8217;t changed your date of birth, you must wait 14 days before changing it again.<\/p>\n<p>The first restriction on changing your birthday on Facebook is that you cannot change your date of birth more than three times a year. If you have changed your birth date several times in a row, you can&#8217;t change it anymore. Facebook will contact you through email and messenger to allow you to change your date once again. If you&#8217;re in doubt, contact the Help team on Facebook. They&#8217;ll help you make the necessary changes.<\/p>\n<p>The second restriction is that you can only change your birthday on Facebook once every two weeks. Therefore, if you recently changed your date, you may need to wait a few days before changing it again. If you can&#8217;t do that, you can always contact Facebook&#8217;s customer support department and ask them to make the changes. You can also make the change on your Facebook app. Log in to your Facebook profile and scroll down to the &#8220;Edit Your About Info&#8221; section. You&#8217;ll find your birthday under the pencil icon. Once you&#8217;ve changed your date, click &#8220;Save&#8221; to make it permanent.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>How to Change Your Birthday on Facebook If you haven&#8217;t changed your birthday on Facebook, now is the time to do so.
