If you're not receiving birthday wishes on Facebook, it could be due to your privacy settings. Make sure your birthday information is set to public or friends so it's visible on their timelines. Also, consider active engagement on the platform, as Facebook's algorithms prioritize content from active users, thus making your profile more visible. If it’s essential, you could post a subtle reminder about your special day as people may genuinely forget dates or rely on social media notifications to remember.
