I made this quick tutorial to show how to change your birthday on Facebook, which is useful if you made a mistake or want to adjust privacy settings.

Facebook only lets you change your birth date a limited number of times, so you want to get it right. In the video, I show how to:

  1. Go to your profile
  2. Click About > Contact and Basic Info
  3. Find the Birthday section and click Edit
  4. Choose the correct date and adjust who can see it
  5. Save changes

I also talk about restrictions — for example, you might need to wait a few days between changes, or you may need to submit ID if you’ve changed it too often.

This is one of those settings that doesn’t come up often but is important when it does.

Have you set your birth date to be public, private, or somewhere in between?
