Can You Change the Date That a Photo Is Added to Facebook?
By C. Taylor
When you upload a photo, Facebook automatically stamps the photo with the date you specified during the upload. If you didn't specify a date, Facebook uses the upload date by default. Because this date may inappropriately represent a photo, Facebook lets you change it to any time before the actual upload date. This feature is important because the date stamp dictates where in your Timeline a photo appears.
Step 1
Click "Photos" in the left pane of your Facebook account's home page.
Step 2
Click the photo that you need to edit to open an edit window.
Step 3
Click the "Edit" button.
Step 4
Use the date drop-down menus to select a new year, month and day. If you want to specify an hour, click "Add Hour" and select a time.
Step 5
Click "Done Editing" to assign the new date.
Step 6
Click the "X" or press "Esc" to exit editing mode.
