If you’re like most people, you probably don’t think about how to hide your birthday on Facebook. But if you want to make sure your friends and family know, there are a few things you can do. First, make sure that your birthday is listed as an event on Facebook. This will help people find information about it and see what events are happening around it. Second, create a profile for yourself and list your date of birth as the date of your profile’s creation. This will help people find information about you more easily and see that you have a specific date of birth. Finally, make sure that all of your social media accounts are updated with the latest information about your birthday. This will help people find out when you’re going to be available for photos or events, and it will also let them know about any special deals or events that might be happening around your birthday.
