Contact Apple Support:

Have Apple Support modify this for you over-the-phone. If it pertains only to the application, then they may be able to run you through the fix. Perform a screensharing session, if necessary, to show them exactly what is occurring, form your perspective.

Apple Contact Info:

Why the Wait:

Phone calls are taking a bit to go through at the moment, due to lots of calls. With the Coronavirus Pandemic, many are at home at the moment, with much time on their hands to contact Apple. So, just stay on the line, and you will get through

To change your DOB in the Apple Health app, first open the Contacts app (or go to the Contacts tab of the Phone app), click on your name at the top, then "Edit" and edit your DOB.


Once that's done, head back to the Apple Health app and make sure you are in the Summary or Browse tabs. Click your profile photo at the top right corner of the screen and click "Health Details". If your DOB is not already correct, click "Edit" at the top right corner of your screen, edit your DOB and save it.


Lastly, check that your DOB is still correct for your Apple ID by going to Settings>Your Name>Name, Phone Numbers, Email>Birthday. If your birthday is correct, leave it as is. If it is incorrect, just click anywhere on the "Birthday" option to edit and save your DOB.


Hope this helps.
