While browsing Facebook, there must have been times when you came across a friend's profile whose only the first name is visible and wondered if you could do the same?
While trying to figure this out for a while now, I've finally managed to remove my last name from my profile. The trick is very simple and takes less than a minute.
How?
You should be logged into your Facebook account using Chrome on your mobile.
The whole process takes just a few steps at the end of which you will successfully have removed your last name from your Facebook profile.
Go to Account settings > Language and change it to Tamil.
This will make everything on your mobile browser appear in Tamil. Wait for it to be translated back to English so that it's easier for you to navigate further.
Then go to the General settings section.
It contains information like your name, email address, phone number, etc.
Click on Name. Remove your last name.
Then click Review change and enter your account password. Click Save.
Your last name will be removed from your Facebook profile. DO NOTE, though, that after doing this, you cannot revert back or change your name for the next 60 days.
Lastly, you can change Language back to English again, or whichever was the language you were using originally.
