Say, you want to scream your feelings from the top of the highest mountain, whether you're in love or in a breakup. However, in this era there is no higher "peak" other than Facebook. Changes in relationship status can be done quickly on Facebook, either through the mobile app or on the website.
Step
Method 1 of 2: Via Facebook Mobile App
Step 1. Go to your profile on the Facebook mobile app
Open the app on the device and go to the profile page. The process is slightly different between Android devices and iOS devices:
- Android - Touch the menu button (☰) in the upper-right corner of the window, then tap your name at the top of the screen.
- iOS – Touch the menu button (☰) in the lower-right corner of the window, then tap your name at the top of the screen.
Step 2. Select "Update Info"
If you can't find the "Update Info" option, select "About".
Step 3. Swipe the screen until you find the relationship status information
On Android, this information is at the bottom of the first “About” section of the list. On iOS, you have to swipe even further to find it.
Step 4. Edit your relationship status
Touch the “V” button and select “Edit Relationship”, or tap the “Edit” button, depending on which version of Facebook you are using.
Step 5. Select the relationship status you want to assign
Touch the current status to change the relationship status. You can choose, for example, “Single” (single), “In a relationship” (in a relationship/dating), “Engaged” (engaged), “Married (married), “In a civil union” (in a civil relationship), “In an open relationship” (in a relationship without status), “In a domestic partnership” (living together without a marriage relationship), and others.
To remove the relationship status from the profile, select “---“
Step 6. Type in the name of the friend/user you want to link to your relationship status with
If he uses Facebook, his name will be displayed as a clickable option/link below the text field.
Step 7. Enter the anniversary date of the relationship
If you want to display the anniversary of the relationship, click the “Year” drop-down menu. After selecting the year, the “Month” menu will be displayed, followed by the “Day” menu. The addition of this relationship anniversary is optional.
Step 8. Set the privacy settings
You can determine who can see your relationship status by selecting the “Privacy” menu in the lower left corner of the relationship status editing section. By default, friends can see your relationship status. However, you can change it to “Public” (public), “Only Me” (only me), or “Custom” (custom settings). You can also specify who can see the relationship status by selecting the friends list that has been created. Touch “More Options” to see the options.
Step 9. Save the settings made
When finished filling in the information, touch the “Save” button. If you link a relationship status with another user, he will be sent a message/notification asking him to confirm his relationship with you. Once confirmed, the status will be displayed on your profile.
- If he's already in a relationship with someone else, Facebook won't allow you to make those changes.
- Currently, Facebook does not allow its users to be in a relationship with more than one person.
Method 2 of 2: Via Facebook Website
Step 1. Open the profile editor
Log in to the Facebook website. Click on your name that appears in the upper left corner of the main page after logging in. After that, click the “Update Info” button to edit the profile.
Step 2. Click the “Family and Relationships” option
It's in the left sidebar. After that, you will be taken directly to the relationship information section.
Step 3. Select the desired relationship status
If you haven't defined a relationship status, click "Add your relationship status" first. You can choose, for example, “Single” (single), “In a relationship” (in a relationship/dating), “Married” (married), “Engaged” (engaged), “In a civil union” (in a civil relationship), “In an open relationship” (in a relationship without status), “In a domestic partnership” (living together), and others.
- To remove the relationship status from the profile, select “---“.
- Keep in mind that the termination of the relationship status is an act that is personal / personal. A person/user who has been disconnected will not get notification regarding status change. Anyone viewing your timeline will see only your status changes.
Step 4. Enter the username/friend you are in a relationship with
If he uses Facebook, his name will be displayed as a clickable option/link below the text field.
Step 5. Enter the anniversary date of the relationship
If you want to display the anniversary of the relationship, enter the date via the drop-down menus that appear. The addition of this relationship anniversary is optional.
Step 6. Set the privacy settings
You can determine who can see your relationship status by clicking the “Privacy” icon in the lower-left corner of the relationship information section. By default, friends can see the status of the relationship. However, you can change it to “Public” (public), “Only Me” (only me/hidden), or “Custom” (custom settings). You can also specify who can see your relationship status by selecting a pre-created friend list.
Step 7. Click “Save” to save changes
The user you are linked with will get a message/notification asking them to confirm their relationship with you. Once confirmed, your status will be displayed on your profile.
- You must already be friends with the user or person you want to partner with in the relationship status.
- If he's already in a relationship with someone else, Facebook doesn't allow you to make status changes with him.
- Currently, Facebook does not allow users to establish a relationship with more than one person.
Tips
- If the user linked to your status doesn't get an email with a link confirming the relationship (or can't find it), tell them to check the “Notifications” tab for connection requests.
-
Facebook allows its users to choose different types of relationships, including relationships for LGBT (lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender) groups. The available options may differ depending on your area of access:
- bachelor
- In a relationship (eg dating)
- Engaged
- Marry
- Living together (e.g. couples living together in the same house, without marriage ties)
- In civil relations
- Complicated
- In a statusless relationship
- Widowed/Widowed
- Separate
- Divorce
Warning
- Before you announce an important relationship change on Facebook, make sure you tell the most important people in your life first. Your parents or siblings probably wouldn't be overly excited if they found out about your engagement via Facebook, not from your mouth.
- You need to discuss changing your relationship status with the person you want to be in a relationship with before you make a status change on Facebook. Make sure that you both agree with the status changes that will be made.
