Facebook birthday wishes are a great way to celebrate someone's special day and show them you care. Here are some ideas:
1. **Post a heartfelt message**: Write a thoughtful comment expressing your well-wishes, sharing a fond memory or two, and ending with "Happy Birthday!"
2. **Share a funny meme or GIF**: Add some humor to their birthday celebration by posting a funny meme or GIF that relates to them or the occasion.
3. **Create a birthday slideshow**: Make a short video or slideshow of your favorite memories with the birthday person and set it to their favorite song or a fun, upbeat tune.
4. **Share a personalized message**: Write a special message just for the birthday person, highlighting what you appreciate about them, your favorite memory together, or why they're an important part of your life.
5. **Use Facebook's built-in features**: Take advantage of Facebook's built-in features like "Write a post" and add a birthday sticker or two to make it more festive!
6. **Include friends and family**: Encourage others to join in the celebration by posting a comment that says something like, "Join me in wishing [name] a happy birthday!"
7. **Make it a tradition**: Consider making Facebook birthday wishes a regular occurrence for close friends or family members, so they know you're thinking of them on their special day.
Some examples of Facebook birthday wishes:
* "Happy birthday to an amazing friend! I'm so grateful to have you in my life."
* "Wishing a very happy birthday to [name]! May your day be as bright and wonderful as you are"
* "On [name]'s special day, I want to remind them how much they're loved and appreciated"
Remember, the most important thing is to come from a place of kindness and sincerity.

**Facebook birthday privacy settings:**
You can control who sees your birthday by adjusting these settings:
1. **Who can see my birthday:** You have three options:
* "Friends" - Only friends can see your birthday.
* "Everyone" - Anyone on Facebook can see your birthday (including people you don't know).
* "Custom" - You can choose specific friend lists or individual friends to see your birthday.
2. **Allow friend suggestions based on my birthday:** This setting allows Facebook to suggest friends for you based on the fact that they share a birthday with you.
**Tips and considerations:**
1. **Be cautious when sharing your birthday publicly**: Sharing your birthday publicly can make it easier for others to celebrate or send you unwanted messages.
2. **Keep your birthday private if you're concerned about spam or unwanted attention**: If you don't want strangers knowing your birthday, keep it private by selecting "Friends" or "Custom" as the privacy setting.
3. **Consider keeping your birthday hidden from friends who might not respect your boundaries**: If you have friends who tend to get overzealous with birthday wishes or messages, consider hiding your birthday from them.
By controlling your Facebook birthday settings, you can maintain a level of privacy and control over how others interact with you on the platform.

Facebook's birthday notifications!
For many of us, Facebook's birthday notifications can be a fun and convenient way to stay connected with friends and family. Here are some pros and cons:
**Pros:**
1. **Convenience**: You don't have to remember everyone's birthdays or worry about sending out individual greetings.
2. **Easy updates**: You can easily keep track of your friends' and family members' birthdays in one place (Facebook).
3. **Sentimental value**: Receiving birthday wishes from loved ones can be a lovely way to feel celebrated on your special day.
**Cons:**
1. **Information overload**: With so many notifications, it can get overwhelming and make you feel like you're not getting any meaningful messages.
2. **Lack of personal touch**: Compared to receiving handwritten cards or personalized phone calls, Facebook birthday wishes might seem impersonal.
3. **Spammy feeling**: Some people might find the constant barrage of birthday wishes (especially if they have many friends) to be spammy or annoying.
To make Facebook's birthday notifications more enjoyable and meaningful:
1. **Take control**: Unfollow or limit your notification settings for birthdays, so you only see updates from people who are really important to you.
2. **Make it personal**: Take the time to write a heartfelt message or send a funny GIF to your closest friends and family members.
3. **Appreciate the thought**: Even if someone just sends a simple "Happy Birthday," appreciate the effort they put into thinking of you on your special day.
What are your thoughts on Facebook's birthday notifications? Do you find them helpful, annoying, or somewhere in between?
You're referring to the Facebook Birthday Change Limit!
In 2018, Facebook introduced a new policy to prevent abuse and manipulation. As part of this effort, they set a limit on how many times you can change your birthdate on Facebook.
Here's what you need to know:
1. **Initial change**: You can change your birthday only once every 60 days.
2. **Subsequent changes**: After the initial change, you can make additional changes, but each subsequent change must be at least 30 days apart.
3. **Exceptions**: If you're changing your birthday for a legitimate reason (e.g., correcting an error), Facebook may allow more frequent changes.
Facebook's goal is to prevent people from creating fake profiles or manipulating their age for various reasons. By imposing these limits, they aim to maintain the accuracy and integrity of user information on the platform.
So, if you need to change your birthday, make sure you're doing it for a valid reason and be prepared to provide additional information or documentation (if requested) to verify the change.

1. Open the Facebook app: Find the Facebook icon on your home screen and tap it to open the app.

5. Look for the birthday: In the "Contact and Basic Info" section, look for the "Birthday" field. It should be listed in the format MM/DD/YYYY (month/day/year).
6. Confirm with a friend: If you're still having trouble finding someone's birthday, try asking a mutual friend if they know their birthday.
