How to Change Relationship Status on Facebook

Remember when being “Facebook official” was the be-all-and-end-all of relationships?

While relationship status is not the big deal it used to be, with many users even hiding their relationship status from their main profile page and feed, it’s still useful to know how to update this detail to keep your personal information up to date and fresh.

3 Steps to Change Your Relationship Status

1. Navigate to your profile page on Facebook and select the ‘Edit Profile’ button along the top of your feed, just underneath your cover photo
2. Scroll down under you reach the ‘Details’ section and click on ‘Relationship Status’
3. This will open a details editing screen. The ‘Relationship’ header will detail your current relationship status, with a check in the box if this information is visible (or an empty box if the information is hidden from your profile). Click on the pencil icon next to this information to open the editing screen

Once in the ‘Edit Relationship’ screen you can change the visibility of this information as well as the detail itself. You can also remove an old relationship, and even set a start date on a relationship so that your friends can see exactly when you got together.

This is a quick and easy way to let friends and other users on Facebook know your relationship status. And don’t forget that if you tag your partner in your status, this will be reflected on their profile too – though again, it will only be visible if they choose to make this information open for friends to see.

We hope this helps!
