  2. Click on your profile picture located in the top right corner of the screen.
  3. In the drop-down menu, click on the "Settings & Privacy" option.
  4. From the expanded menu, select "Settings."
  5. On the left sidebar of the Settings page, click on "Your Facebook Information."
  6. Look for the "Access Your Information" section and click on "View" next to it.
  7. In the left sidebar, under the "Your Information" section, select "Personal Information."
  8. Scroll down the page until you find the "Your Account Creation Date" section.
  9. The date when your account was created will be displayed in this section.

it will take awhile to scrol all the way down, so please bear with me.

Sure. Take your time!
Alternatively, you can also check the "About" section of your profile. Look for the "Joined Facebook" information

Customer Replay

okay, I'll try that

author

Thanks. Keep me posted.

Customer Replay

I don't see "about" on what I think is my profile

Could you follow the first instruction then, please?

I am at the Activity log and the menu that begins with " videos you have searched for". Where to now?

author

Could you try to scroll down and find the first activity you did on Facebook?

Customer Replay

okay
I've been on fb for many years and the scrolling process is very slow. Is there a shortcut command I can use to get to the beginning?

Do you use your computer?

I don't find this item on the left side bar of the Activity Log screen, or my Home screen. Am I looking in the wrong place?
