How to Off Location On Facebook | Update 2019

Facebook is at it once again, launching yet an additional attribute that I never had the opportunity to pleasantly opt out of: area sharing.

When Facebook decided to take out efforts from its brief check-in service, Places, it rapidly carried out a much more passive location-sharing attribute that doesn't also have a name. It's just there. And also it's weird.

Currently, whenever you make up a blog post on a mobile phone or home computer, you'll see a light-gray area summary in the reduced left of the standing box.

Facebook sneakily gets your place via GPS or Wi-Fi router, and affixes it to your post, so your buddies can enjoy a more thorough 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 settings, the option to switch off location-sharing isn't offered. Nonetheless, it's pretty simple to transform it off. Below's exactly how:

- Because the place is displayed in light grey, it's extremely easy to miss. Always inspect the reduced left of the standing box to see if a location is attached.

- If you get on the Internet, simply float the cursor over the area and click the "X." Your area will no longer be connected, also to future conditions. If you later on alter your mind, just click the area pen to manually enter your place, yet beware: it will be affixed once more for all future updates (unless you turn it off once again).

-In the Facebook mobile application, tap the area to remove it. On the apple iphone, you can switch off area solutions for Facebook entirely by mosting likely to Setups > Place Solutions, and turning it off for Facebook.
