How to Off Location On Facebook | Update 2019

Facebook is at it again, releasing yet another feature that I never had the chance to pleasantly opt out of: area sharing.

When Facebook chose to withdraw initiatives from its brief check-in solution, Places, it rapidly implemented a much more passive location-sharing feature that does not even have a name. It's just there. And it's weird.

Now, whenever you compose a blog post on a mobile phone or home computer, you'll see a light-gray place description in the reduced left of the status box.

Facebook sneakily orders your area via GPS or Wi-Fi router, and also affixes it to your post, so your pals can appreciate a more thorough tracking experience.

Do you remember deciding in to that? Me neither.

As a matter of fact, if you dig via your personal privacy as well as account settings, the choice to switch off location-sharing isn't available. However, it's pretty very easy to turn it off. Below's exactly how:

- Considering that the area is shown in light grey, it's very simple to miss out on. Constantly check the reduced left of the condition box to see if an area is connected.

- If you're on the Web, merely hover the arrow over the area and also click the "X." Your place will no more be attached, even to future statuses. If you later on change your mind, just click the area marker to by hand enter your area, but beware: it will certainly be attached once more for all future updates (unless you transform it off again).

-In the Facebook mobile application, touch the place to remove it. On the apple iphone, you can switch off area services for Facebook totally by going to Settings > Location Services, as well as turning it off for Facebook.
