Facebook has a lot of features, but one of its most basic is the "About" page. Every Facebook user has an About page where you can find all sorts of information about them, whether that be their relationship status, hometown, or - of course - their birthday.
Every bit of information on this page is editable, including that birthday date. However, changing your birthday has some restrictions that the other pieces of data don't have.
Here's how to change your birthday on Facebook, and what you should know before you do.
How to change your birthday on Facebook's website
1. Head to the Facebook website and log into your account.
2. Go to your profile page and click About below your profile picture.

3. On the About page, click Contact and Basic Info in the left sidebar.
4. Scroll down to the section with your birthday. Here, click the pencil icon if you want to change the exact date, or the tiny icon next to the pencil (it can be a globe, lock, group of people, or a star) if you want to change who can see your birthday.
You can edit the birthdate itself, or who can see it.

Your birthday will update immediately. Changing this won't send out any sort of notification.
