How to Turn Location Off On Facebook | Update 2019

Facebook is at it once more, releasing yet one more function that I never had the chance to pleasantly pull out of: location sharing.

When Facebook chose to take out initiatives from its brief check-in service, Places, it quickly implemented a much more passive location-sharing function that doesn't also have a name. It's just there. As well as it's scary.

Currently, every time you compose a post on a mobile device or desktop, you'll see a light-gray location description in the lower left of the status box.

Facebook sneakily gets your area through GPS or Wi-Fi router, and affixes it to your blog post, so your pals can enjoy a more extensive stalking experience.

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

Actually, if you dig through your privacy and account setups, the option to shut off location-sharing isn't offered. Nonetheless, it's pretty very easy to turn it off. Here's how:

- Since the place is received light gray, it's really easy to miss. Constantly examine the lower left of the standing box to see if a place is connected.

- If you're on the Internet, just float the cursor over the place and click the "X." Your place will no longer be connected, also to future standings. If you later on transform your mind, just click the place marker to manually enter your area, however beware: it will be affixed once again for all future updates (unless you turn it off again).

-In the Facebook mobile application, tap the area to remove it. On the apple iphone, you can shut off location services for Facebook completely by going to Settings > Location Services, and transforming it off for Facebook.
