Click on a year’s link and it will take you to a list of months. This will give you an opportunity to choose which month would be appropriate for your celebration.
What to do if you want to celebrate your birthday in a big way
If you want to celebrate your birthday in a big way, you have the option of changing your birthday to an icon. You can also select to design your own icon with a specific idea in mind or use one of the pre-made icons as well.
The first step is choosing which icon you’d like to use on your profile and then following the instructions provided by Instagram. When it comes time for the actual change, there are three different options that include:
Pressing “Customize Birthday” and typing in the new birthday field
Pressing “Edit Profile” and then clicking on the birthday field under Who Are You
Navigating to your profile, pressing Edit Profile, and then selecting Change Your Birthday from the menu at the top left of your screen
How to create your own icon for your birthday celebration
First, decide what you want to put on your icon. You can choose an icon from one of the pre-made icons or design your own. Once you have a decision on what you want to include in your icon, you need to come up with a way for people to know about it.
You can have your birthday message show up just like any other story on Instagram by clicking on your profile and selecting “Story.” When writing the story, make sure that it has enough information so people know what they are getting into when they follow this birthday story.
Another option is to create a post that will be automatically followed by anyone who follows the account. You’ll still need the same information as above but this option helps reduce the amount of work involved in setting up and maintaining a birthday story.
Once you have everything set, simply go to Instagram and click on “Edit Profile” at the top right hand corner of the screen. In this area, you’ll see options for carousel images, avatar pictures, etc. Once you find “Birthday,” select “Choose Avatar.”
