A good Facebook bio is one short line in the Intro section of your profile that tells people who you are or what you're about. Facebook's Help Center describes it as a bio or brief description of yourself, and the Intro section is always public, so keep it friendly, true and free of private details. Copy an example below, make it yours, and save it from your profile.

Menus can change, so trust the current help page if your app looks different. Every example bio in this guide is original and fictional.
What to put in your Facebook bio
Your bio sits in the Intro section under your profile picture. Facebook says the Intro section is always public, so keep it short and friendly.
Facebook's Help Center says the Intro section of your profile is where you can add a bio or brief description of yourself or your Page. It also notes that your profile picture, cover photo and name are always public, and that the information in your Intro section is always public, though you choose what to include.
Because anyone can read it, a good Facebook bio sticks to one or two of these:
•
What you do, or what you spend your time on.
•
Where you are, if it helps friends and neighbors find you.
•
What you love: family, a hobby, a team or a cause.
•
A bit of humor or a short line you live by.
•
For a creator or business, what people get and where to find more.
Keep it short
Facebook's Intro help doesn't state a character limit for the bio. It is meant to be brief, so aim for one line. Every example in this guide is 100 characters or fewer.
Steps to write your Facebook bio
1.
Decide who you most want to read it: friends and family, people in your community, or customers.
2.
Write one line about who you are or what you do.
3.
Add one detail that sounds like you: a place, a hobby, a joke or a short motto.
4.
Leave out anything you would not want a stranger to know, because the Intro section is public.
5.
Read it once on your phone and cut any word that does not help.
