Have you ever tried to remove your last name from your Facebook profile? If yes, then you might have failed because Facebook doesn’t allow every one to remove their last names. But what if you need to remove your last name even though Facebook is restricting to do that.

To successfully remove you last name from Facebook profile you must become a Indonesian.

Yeah, it sounds awkward, right? But this is the right way to perform our trick.

So, what you will have to do to become Indonesian is to change your Profile’s proxy settings. That’s all and then Facebook will consider you as Indonesian and will allow you to remove your last name from Facebook profile.

Perform the steps listed below to amaze your friend that you removed you last name from Facebook profile.

Step 1: Go to your Facebook profile settings and change  your language as “Bahasa Indonesia”.
