How to Turn Off Your Location On Facebook | Update 2019

Facebook goes to it once again, launching yet another feature that I never ever had the possibility to politely opt out of: place sharing.

When Facebook made a decision to withdraw efforts from its short-lived check-in solution, Places, it quickly implemented an extra passive location-sharing feature that does not even have a name. It's simply there. As well as it's creepy.

Now, whenever you make up a blog post on a mobile device or desktop, you'll see a light-gray location summary in the lower left of the condition box.

Facebook sneakily orders your location via GPS or Wi-Fi router, and attaches it to your message, so your close friends can delight in an extra thorough tracking experience.

Do you bear in mind choosing in to that? Me neither.

As a matter of fact, if you dig via your privacy and account setups, the alternative to shut off location-sharing isn't readily available. Nonetheless, it's quite simple to turn it off. Right here's just how:

- Given that the location is received light grey, it's really easy to miss out on. Constantly check the lower left of the standing box to see if a location is connected.

- If you get on the Web, simply hover the cursor over the location and also click the "X." Your location will no more be affixed, also to future statuses. If you later on alter your mind, just click the place pen to by hand enter your location, but beware: it will certainly be affixed once again for all future updates (unless you transform it off once again).

-In the Facebook mobile app, tap the location to remove it. On the iPhone, you can switch off area services for Facebook totally by going to Settings > Area Services, and also transforming it off for Facebook.
