Facebook used to show your birthday on your Timeline, but now it&#8217;s hidden under the About section of your profile. It might be because you haven&#8217;t entered your birthday or you have set it to private. Either way, you can edit your birthday in the About section of your profile. Here&#8217;s how:<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Editing_your_birthday_on_Facebook\"><\/span>Editing your birthday on Facebook<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>To change your birthday on Facebook, follow these steps: Log in to your account, select the &#8220;About&#8221; tab, and then click &#8220;Edit basic info.&#8221; Next, hover over the birth date and year to access the pencil icon. From there, type in your new date and save your changes. Note that you can only change your birth date three times, and after you do so, you&#8217;ll have to re-enter this information on your profile.<\/p>\n<p>Changing your birthday on Facebook can be difficult because most people enter it in the wrong way when they register. Facebook, however, has made the process much simpler by letting you edit this information directly. All you need is access to your profile to make the changes. After all, it&#8217;s your birthday &#8211; and your friends should be able to find it! After you change your birthday on Facebook, you can easily send birthday wishes to all your friends on Facebook!<\/p>\n<p>If you want to change your birthday on Facebook, you can visit your profile and select the &#8220;Edit Birthday&#8221; option. You can then edit your birthday by choosing a new date or audience. Afterward, you can click &#8220;Send&#8221; to send your request. Facebook will be in touch with you if they can make the changes you&#8217;ve requested. It might take up to two weeks before your new birthday will be updated on Facebook.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Hide_or_unhide_your_birthday_on_Facebook\"><\/span>Hide or unhide your birthday on Facebook<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>To hide or unhide your birthday on Facebook, go to the Edit profile section. Click on Basic info to view the birthday section. You can choose to show your birthday to all friends and family, or to select specific people. Once you&#8217;ve chosen the people you want to see your birthday, click on the Birth Year button to change the privacy setting. If you&#8217;d prefer that only friends see your birthday, click the More options button.<\/p>\n<p>If you&#8217;re unsure how to hide or unhide your birthday on Facebook, start by checking your Basic Information. You can then edit your birthday information. Select the options under Who can see your birthday and who will receive notifications. Choose &#8220;Only me&#8221; to hide your birthday. You can also choose to show your birthday only to your closest friends, if you prefer. You can also set your birthday as Private.<\/p>\n<p>The process of hiding or unhiding your birthday on Facebook is simple. Facebook has several different settings you can change to protect your privacy. By default, the date of your birthday will be visible to anyone you invite to a Facebook event. However, if you want to prevent others from knowing when your birthday is, you can hide or unhide your birthday in the Privacy Settings section of your Facebook profile. This way, you can protect yourself from unwanted intrusion by friends and family.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Limit_on_changing_your_birthday_on_Facebook\"><\/span>Limit on changing your birthday on Facebook<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>If you want to change your birthday on Facebook, you must wait for two months. However, there is no hard and fast rule on how many times you can change your date. There is no limit as long as you make sure that you are updating it the right way, and you have given enough time for the changes to be made. In this case, the limit will not be reached unless you have already made 3 changes. If you make three changes, you can change your birthday again in a couple of months.<\/p>\n<p>To change your birth date on Facebook, go to your profile and click Edit Profile. Under Basic Info, click on the arrow next to your current birth date. Then, click on the arrow next to your new birth date and save it. If you have reached the limit of three times, you can always contact Facebook&#8217;s help desk to request to change your date of birth. If you have a special reason, you can always change your date of birth on Facebook.<\/p>\n<p>The age limit for creating an account on Facebook is 13 years old. If you&#8217;re below that age, you can still change your birthday on Facebook, but you&#8217;ll need to use a government-issued ID to change it. If you&#8217;re over the age of 13, you can also use your existing account to change your date of birth. Alternatively, if you have a public ID, you can use it to verify your identity. This way, you&#8217;ll have less time to worry about someone impersonating you.<\/p>\n<p> <iframe frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"true\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/BM26DhQ7QBw\" width=\"414\" height=\"231\" style=\"margin:0px auto; display: block;\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>How Do I Change My Birthday on Facebook?
