How to remove the date in the mobile application

If you are using a mobile application and want to know how to hide your date of birth in VK, then the sequence of actions is almost the same:

Open your profile in the application.
Directly below your main photo is an "Edit" button.
By clicking on this button you will be taken to the profile settings section.
Next, go to the “Basic” tab. Here, as in the computer version, there are settings for the basic information of your page.
Below the date of birth there is also a field that allows you to select one of three options (remove the date of birth completely, show only the day and month, or display it completely).
After the changes, you need to click on the checkmark in the upper right corner for the new settings to be saved.

If you are interested in how to completely delete the date of birth in a contact, then this cannot be done. If you deliberately change the date and indicate the wrong one on your page, this may cause difficulties if you suddenly need to restore your account and you forget what date you indicated. Therefore, hiding others in VK using one of the methods described above is the best option to keep this data secret or remove some of it.
