Turn Off Location In Facebook | Update 2019

Facebook goes to it again, releasing yet one more attribute that I never had the chance to nicely pull out of: location sharing.

When Facebook decided to withdraw initiatives from its temporary check-in service, Places, it promptly applied a more easy location-sharing attribute that does not even have a name. It's simply there. As well as it's scary.

Now, each time you compose a blog post on a mobile phone or desktop, you'll see a light-gray area description in the reduced left of the condition box.

Facebook sneakily grabs your place through GPS or Wi-Fi router, and connects it to your post, so your buddies can take pleasure in a more thorough stalking experience.

Do you remember deciding in to that? Me neither.

Actually, if you dig via your personal privacy and account settings, the alternative to turn off location-sharing isn't available. Nonetheless, it's pretty easy to turn it off. Here's how:

- Because the place is received light gray, it's really simple to miss out on. Always inspect the lower left of the status box to see if an area is attached.

- If you're on the Internet, simply hover the arrow over the place as well as click the "X." Your place will no more be affixed, also to future conditions. If you later on change your mind, simply click the place marker to manually enter your place, however beware: it will certainly be attached once again for all future updates (unless you turn it off once again).

-In the Facebook mobile app, tap the location to remove it. On the apple iphone, you can shut off place solutions for Facebook entirely by mosting likely to Settings > Area Solutions, as well as turning it off for Facebook.
