The date of birth plays an important role in Facebook. Facebook informs our Facebook friends about our birthday. Our Facebook friends get a notification on our birthday for reminding them to wish us. It may feel like a hard job to change the date of your birth from your Facebook profile — well, it’s not. However, you may have to do some digging but it’s totally easy.
This article will teach you how to change your birthday on Facebook. You can change it from your Facebook profile in the Facebook app or from the website. Although, it may take many steps to change it. This happens because Facebook tries discouraging its users to change their birth date too often for preventing people from frauding their age. Follow below these step by step guides to how to change your birthday on Facebook:
