How to edit or add your birthday to your Instagram account
There's a limit to how many times you can change your birthday. If you've recently changed it, you may have to wait before you can edit it again.
If you’ve added your Facebook account to the same Accounts Center as your Instagram account and you want to update your birthday, you can edit it on Facebook to change it on Instagram. If you haven’t connected your Facebook account, you can add or edit your birthday directly on your Instagram profile.
