I am not exactly sure why you would want to change your birthday, but I am writing about it anyway!

Option 1: Change Birthday via the Mobile App

The steps in this section were performed from the Facebook App for Android. But it should apply to the iPhone App. As at the time of writing, the only major difference between the 2 Apps is the position of the tabs.
