How to Turn Off Facebook Location
When Facebook made a decision to take out initiatives from its brief check-in service, Places, it promptly executed a much more easy location-sharing function that doesn't also have a name. It's simply there. As well as it's creepy.
Now, each time you make up a post on a smart phone or desktop, you'll see a light-gray place summary in the lower left of the status box.
Facebook sneakily grabs your location by means of GENERAL PRACTITIONER or Wi-Fi router, as well as affixes it to your article, so your pals can enjoy an extra thorough stalking experience.
Do you remember choosing in to that? Me neither.
In fact, if you dig via your personal privacy as well as account settings, the option to turn off location-sharing isn't readily available. Nevertheless, it's pretty simple to turn it off. Below's exactly how:
- Because the location is displayed in light gray, it's extremely simple to miss. Constantly check the reduced left of the standing box to see if an area is attached.
- If you're on the Internet, merely float the arrow over the area and click the "X." Your area will no longer be attached, even to future statuses. If you later on transform your mind, simply click the area pen to manually enter your area, yet beware: it will certainly be connected once again for all future updates (unless you turn it off once more).
-In the Facebook mobile app, touch the place to remove it. On the iPhone, you can switch off location services for Facebook completely by going to Setups > Location Solutions, and also turning it off for Facebook.
