How Do I Turn Off Location On Facebook | Update 2019

Facebook goes to it again, releasing yet one more feature that I never had the opportunity to politely pull out of: area sharing.

When Facebook decided to take out initiatives from its short-lived check-in service, Places, it quickly applied a much more easy location-sharing feature that doesn't also have a name. It's just there. And also it's weird.

Now, every time you make up a post on a smart phone or home computer, you'll see a light-gray location summary in the reduced left of the condition box.

Facebook sneakily grabs your area through GPS or Wi-Fi router, as well as connects it to your message, so your close friends can delight in a much more comprehensive stalking experience.

Do you remember opting in to that? Me neither.

As a matter of fact, if you dig through your personal privacy as well as account setups, the choice to turn off location-sharing isn't available. However, it's pretty very easy to turn it off. Here's just how:

- Given that the area is displayed in light grey, it's extremely easy to miss. Constantly check the lower left of the standing box to see if an area is affixed.

- If you get on the Internet, merely float the cursor over the area and also click the "X." Your place will certainly no longer be attached, also to future statuses. If you later transform your mind, just click the place marker to by hand enter your location, yet beware: it will certainly be connected again for all future updates (unless you turn it off once again).

-In the Facebook mobile app, touch the location to remove it. On the iPhone, you can turn off place services for Facebook totally by going to Setups > Place Solutions, and also turning it off for Facebook.
