Facebook birthday - it is known to all users that on their birthday, Facebook will notify everyone on their friend list. Some users may decide to keep theirs private, hence the need to know How to stop Publicizing Your birthday on Facebook
Of all social media sites, Facebook seems to be the one with the most exposure, as regards users’ information, by default. Thankfully, privacy options to limit this exposure is provisioned. You just have to access your account privacy settings, carry out some tweaks here and there, to decide which information other users have access to.
One of such information users may want to keep from others could be their birthday. Granted, it is nice, to say the least, to get birthday wishes from friends and loved ones on your birthday. In the same way, it would be rude to not reply to all those well wishes. It gets tricky if those well wishes were sent by say a hundred friends via private chat and you’d have to reply to them, one by one.
To avoid this situation, one may opt to prevent their friends from getting notifications for their birthday at all. Close friends will always remember your birthday, and will always send you well wishes. The average person has say 20 close friends at most, and replying to 20 well wishes shouldn’t be a problem at all for most people.
