How to change date of birth in facebook

Before changing the year of birth, please note that if you previously indicated the age of more than 18 years, then you may not be able to change it to a lower one.

You can customize your date of birth information a limited number of times. If you have recently changed your age, you will need to wait a few days before adjusting the date again, otherwise Facebook will limit this option to at least a few days, so it is not recommended to abuse this feature.

There are 2 ways to change the date of birth on this social network: through an application for gadgets on Android or iPhone, or on a Facebook page open on a personal computer or laptop.

Using a smartphone

open the Facebook application on your mobile device (the application can be downloaded from the App Store if you have an iOS operating system, or from Google Play if you have Android installed);

log in, that is, enter your password and login (if you forgot your password, you can restore it using your phone number or email, using the “Forgot your password?” button);
