Before you begin
Facebook offers a pretty straightforward way of finding out the date of your account creation. The ‘Accounts Centre’ section holds all the details related to your Facebook profile and other Meta accounts. This is the easiest and quickest way to go about this task. However, if you’re unable to access the Accounts Centre for some reason, there are a couple of workarounds you can use.
When you sign up for Facebook, the social media platform sends a welcome message to your registered email. You can track this email to find out when you created your profile. Of course, scrolling all the way down to this email is not an option. Simply search ‘Facebook’ in your inbox for filtered results. Go to the last page and view the date next to the first email.
Lastly, you can view the upload date of your first profile picture to find out when you created your account. Facebook prompts users to upload a picture of themselves as soon as they create a profile. As you can tell, this method isn’t of any use if you did not upload a profile picture on the day of the creation of your account. In that case, stick with the Account Centre methods mentioned below.
