How to Turn Off Facebook Location | New 2019

Facebook goes to it once again, launching yet an additional attribute that I never ever had the possibility to politely pull out of: place sharing.

When Facebook made a decision to withdraw efforts from its short-term check-in solution, Places, it swiftly implemented an extra passive location-sharing function that doesn't also have a name. It's simply there. And also it's weird.

Currently, every single time you compose a blog post on a mobile phone or computer, you'll see a light-gray location description in the reduced left of the standing box.

Facebook sneakily orders your area by means of GENERAL PRACTITIONER or Wi-Fi router, and also attaches it to your blog post, so your friends can take pleasure in a much more extensive tracking experience.

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

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

- Because the area is received light grey, it's very simple to miss out on. Always check the lower left of the condition box to see if a place is affixed.

- If you get on the Web, just hover the arrow over the place and also click the "X." Your area will no more be affixed, even to future conditions. If you later alter your mind, simply click the area marker to by hand enter your location, yet beware: it will be connected once again for all future updates (unless you turn it off once again).

-In the Facebook mobile application, touch the area to remove it. On the iPhone, you can turn off area solutions for Facebook entirely by going to Setups > Area Solutions, and also transforming it off for Facebook.
