While you can't directly change the birthdate associated with your Facebook account an unlimited number of times, you can change the date on individual Facebook posts. This response will cover both scenarios.
Changing the Date on a Facebook Post
This is the scenario that the provided video excerpt addresses. To change the date on a Facebook post:
- Navigate to the Facebook post you wish to edit.
- Look for the three dots (ellipsis) in the upper right-hand corner of the post. Click on them.
- Select "Edit post."
- You should now be able to change the date and time by clicking on the date or time displayed near your name at the top of the post.
- Make your desired changes to the date and/or time.
- Click "Save" to finalize the changes.
Changing Your Birthdate on Your Facebook Account
Facebook allows you to update your birthdate a limited number of times. Here's how:
- Go to your Facebook profile.
- Click on "About."
- Click on "Contact and Basic Info."
- Hover over the "Birth Date" section.
- Click "Edit."
- Use the dropdown menus to change your month, day, and year.
- Choose who can see your birth date by using the audience selector (e.g., Public, Friends, Only Me).
- Click "Save Changes."
Important Considerations for Birthdate Changes:
- Limited Changes: Facebook limits how often you can change your birthdate. Once you've reached the limit, you may need to contact Facebook support for assistance.
- Privacy: Be mindful of your privacy settings when displaying your birthdate. You can choose to show only the month and day or hide it completely.
- Account Verification: Providing an accurate birthdate can help with account recovery and verification.
