Facebook allows you to change your birthday information at any time, and you can even opt to hide your birth date altogether. Here are some of those options:<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Change_your_birth_date\"><\/span>Change your birth date<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>You can change your birthday on Facebook to reflect the year of your birth. If you created your account in the wrong year, Facebook will warn you to update your information. However, once you reach the 14-day limit, you can change the date again. You may need to wait a few days before you can change your birthday again. To avoid a lengthy process, you should make sure to check your audience settings. You should also know the number of times you can edit your birthdate.<\/p>\n<p>To change your birthday on Facebook, visit your profile. Tap on &#8220;General Information&#8221; in the header bar. Then, choose &#8220;Edit Birth Date.&#8221; If you want to update more than one time, select &#8220;Edit&#8221; in the top right-hand corner. You can also select &#8220;Edit Audience&#8221; and set the number of people who can view your profile. After changing your birthday, save the change. You can also edit your About Info.<\/p>\n<p>To change your date of birth on Facebook, go to the settings area of your profile. Click &#8220;Basic Info.&#8221; This will open a box where you can edit your birth date. Click &#8220;Change&#8221; next to the existing date. Then, click on &#8220;Edit&#8221; again to confirm your new date. It may take a few hours for Facebook to update your profile. You can try changing your date of birth up to three times. If this doesn&#8217;t work, contact the Facebook Help team to find out a different way to change it.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Change_your_birth_year\"><\/span>Change your birth year<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>If you wish to change your birth year on Facebook, you should first understand why you&#8217;ll need to do so. Facebook requires users to provide their birth date when they sign up, but you can edit it if you&#8217;d like to. You can choose what parts of your birth date you want to share publicly with your friends and family. Alternatively, you can go into your Facebook profile and change your birth year there. The next time you feel like updating your birth date, you can easily go to the About section and click &#8220;Edit&#8221; at the top.<\/p>\n<p>You can change your birthday on Facebook by going to your profile page and tapping on &#8220;Update Info.&#8221; The &#8220;About&#8221; section of your profile will show you your current birth date. The &#8220;Edit Basic Info&#8221; link appears when you place your mouse cursor over your birth year, month, or day. After changing this information, hit the &#8220;Save Changes&#8221; button. This will save your change. You can now edit your birth year on Facebook without the help of other users.<\/p>\n<p>Facebook also lets you view your friends&#8217; birth date. It will be listed under &#8220;Basic Info&#8221; for the rest of the account. However, changing your birth date on Facebook is not allowed more than three times in a month. However, if you exceed that limit, you need to contact Facebook customer support and follow the rules. It is important to note that the customer support representative may deny your request, so be patient.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Change_your_birth_month\"><\/span>Change your birth month<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>To change your birthday month on Facebook, follow these simple steps. Launch the Facebook app on your handheld device. Locate the &#8220;about&#8221; section of your profile. Click the &#8220;Edit basic information&#8221; link. Hover your mouse cursor over your birth date or year to reveal a menu of options. Select &#8220;Birth Month&#8221; and change your birth month and year. Once you&#8217;ve selected a new date, click &#8220;Save Changes&#8221; to save the changes.<\/p>\n<p>Once you&#8217;ve completed the form, visit the Edit Profile section of your account. Click &#8220;Edit Profile&#8221; and fill in the relevant fields. You&#8217;ll see the Date of Birth box. Click &#8220;Edit&#8221; and then &#8220;Change Birthday.&#8221; Your new date will automatically appear on your Facebook profile. Facebook will notify you when the change has been made. If you&#8217;re having trouble making the change, you can try submitting an application to the Facebook Help Center.<\/p>\n<p>To change your birthday month on Facebook, select a different month and day. Select &#8220;Private&#8221; if you&#8217;d prefer people to know your day of birth. You can also change the privacy level of your profile to make it private or public. Make sure to apply the settings in your profile if you want to restrict your birthday details from being visible to people outside of your friends. In some cases, you&#8217;ll need to provide proof of your date of birth to make this change.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>How to Hide Birthday on Facebook If you&#8217;d like to hide your birthday on Facebook, you have several options.
