Birthdays need to match across all accounts in an Accounts Center. If you add a new account that has a different birthday than your other accounts in the same Accounts Center, we may ask you to select your accurate birthday before your new account can be added. When you add your accounts to an Accounts Center, you may be asked to verify your age if you try to access certain experiences and features across Meta, like
Facebook Dating. Learn more about
settings you can manage in Accounts Center.
Note: Once you add your birthday to your profile, it can’t be removed. Also, your birthday won’t be shared with other people on Instagram.
