How to Off Location On Facebook

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

When Facebook determined to withdraw efforts from its brief check-in solution, Places, it swiftly carried out a more easy location-sharing attribute that doesn't even have a name. It's just there. And also it's scary.

Currently, every time you make up a message on a mobile device or desktop computer, you'll see a light-gray location description in the reduced left of the status box.

Facebook sneakily gets your location through GPS or Wi-Fi router, and connects it to your blog post, so your pals can enjoy a more in-depth stalking experience.

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

Actually, if you dig through your privacy and also account settings, the alternative to switch off location-sharing isn't available. Nevertheless, it's pretty very easy to turn it off. Here's how:

- Since the place is shown in light gray, it's extremely easy to miss. Always check the reduced left of the condition box to see if an area is attached.

- If you get on the Internet, just hover the cursor over the location and click the "X." Your area will no longer be connected, even to future statuses. If you later on change your mind, simply click the location pen to by hand enter your area, however beware: it will certainly be affixed once again for all future updates (unless you turn it off once again).

-In the Facebook mobile application, tap the area to remove it. On the iPhone, you can turn off place solutions for Facebook entirely by mosting likely to Settings > Location Providers, as well as transforming it off for Facebook.
