How do you change or hide your Birthday date on Facebook?

Maybe you put in a wrong day, month and year as your birthday on Facebook or maybe you don't want your friends to know your real age, you can make changes to it, be it changes to date or changes to month or even changes to the year. It all comes down to changing or hiding your birthday date on Facebook. You can also choose to make your birthday appear as just month or just as year and we will show you how to do that. So, how do you change or hide your birthday date on Facebook?

ON YOUR FACEBOOK APP:

1. Click on the menu button at the top right hand corner of the page.
2. Next, click on your name to view your profile.
3. Next, scroll down and click on "ABOUT"
4. Next, click on "More about you" (take great care not to click on the + sign at the right, doing this will take you through the longer route. But if you mistakenly click on the +sign, click on "View profile")
5. Scroll down and on "Basic info", click on "Edit"
6.  On the month and date which constitute the "birthday", click on the gray downward () button to edit your birthday "month" and "date". While you click on the gray downward () button on the "Birth Year" to edit your year of birth.

You can also choose who sees your birthday by clicking on the "people" buttons at the right hand of both "Birthday" and "Birth year". If you click on the button on just birthday and set it to maybe public, it means that anyone and everyone who happens to stumble on your profile will see your birthday, but if you set to "only me", it means that you are the only person that will see your birthday. Same is applicable to birth year.
