Additional tips for updating your profile

• Photos can be in any of the following formats: JPG, GIF, or PNG. (Twitter does not support animated GIFs for profile or header images.)

You can customize your Twitter profile by adding your birth date. You can control who on Twitter can see your birth date on your profile by using your birth date visibility settings.

1. Sign in to twitter.com or open your iOS or Android app.
2. Go to your profile and click or tap the Edit profile button.
3. Click or tap the Birth date section.
4. Select or change your birth Day, Month, and Year. Please note that your birth date lets Twitter know that you’re old enough to use our services and that the birth date entered must be of the person operating the account.
5. You can also review and change your birth date visibility settings. You will see two visibility settings, one to control visibility for your birth date year and the other to control visibility for your birth date month and day. Click a visibility icon (web) or adjust Who sees this (iOS or Android app) to change your settings. Learn more about your profile visibility settings.
6. Click Save changes (web) or tap Done and then Save (iOS or Android app).
