Trying to figure out how to change your relationship status on Facebook from your phone? This one's for you.
Steps
Open Facebook Mobile on your phone/other mobile device. Click on the icon on the bottom right corner with the three lines on it.
Click on your name. This will take you to your profile.
Right below your profile picture, there should be a rectangle labelled "About" underneath. Click on this.
Scroll down the page until you see a section labelled Relationships. If there is no specified partner, this box should say "Add your Relationship". If there is, there should be a button on the side that says "Edit". Click whichever button you see
Click on your current relationship status (this should be in blue), and a scroll-down menu will appear. Select the correct status.
Unless you select "Single", "Divorced", or "Widowed", more options will pop up for you to specify a partner from your friends list and an anniversary date.
To select a partner, start typing his/her name and click the right one. Note: doing this will send a "Relationship Request" to your partner. Until s/he approves this request, your relationship will appear as "(Pending)" when you view your own profile, and others will not see his/her name. However, they will still see that you are In a Relationship/Married/etc.
