Facebook is one of the most popular social media platforms today. It is a great place to make new friends or connect with old ones. You can also connect with people you hardly know and make a bond.

Sometimes we meet someone but forget their name when we get back. However, critical information like their birthdate gets stuck in our minds. This could also be possible if you share your birth date with that person. In any case, here is an article to assist you in finding someone on Facebook by their birthdate.

DOB Search limitations

Facebook provides limited filters only to carry out extensive searches. You can search people with their names then narrow them down based on their city, education, and place of work. A while ago, in 2013, Facebook launched a service called Graph, which allowed people to make searches in any way possible.

However, this service triggered major privacy and data security breach concerns and was finally shut down. Now, Facebook privacy policies are even more stringent, so it may be difficult to find the person just by their birthdate.

However, if you can get your hands on some preliminary information like city, name, etc., you can filter down the results by birth date. The catch here is that some people keep their personal information in private mode, so you may miss out on some data.

Finding by Name

If the person you are looking for through a birth date is not your connection on Facebook, things may get trickier. In this case, you will have to recall the name of the person. Next, type the name in the search bar and click on the “people” button to narrow down the results to Facebook members.

Facebook works on advanced algorithms, so it will optimize your search result and show those people who are relevant. You can peruse every search result to find the person you are looking for. Use some pointers like city, profile picture, mutual friends, etc., to get closer to your search.

Finding Facebook friend’s birthday

Facebook is a handy birthday reminder app too. However, if you want to plan someone’s birthday in advance and make preparations for the same, look no further than Facebook. Here you can go to the explore option on the top-left tab if you are on a computer.

In the “explore” menu, look for the “events” option. Now, click on events to find the birthdays of friends closer to the current date.

Upon scrolling the menu, you can also find birthdays assorted through months and years. Click on any friend’s display picture to get an exact date. However, this feature will only work if the other person has enabled the birthday viewing to either public or friends only.

Conclusion

The privacy policies over the past decade have changed tremendously. Initially, it was quite straightforward to search for someone from their D.O.B. However, birthdays have been recognized as sensitive personal info.

So, if a person chooses to hide his/her personal details from the public sphere, you won’t be able to access them. But, we have covered all other possible ways in which you can search for someone on Facebook. Hope you find the one you are looking for.
