Turn Off Location Facebook
When Facebook decided to take out efforts from its short-lived check-in solution, Places, it rapidly applied a much more passive location-sharing attribute that doesn't also have a name. It's simply there. As well as it's scary.
Currently, each time you compose a post on a mobile device or home computer, you'll see a light-gray location description in the lower left of the status box.
Facebook sneakily orders your place by means of GPS or Wi-Fi router, and also attaches it to your blog post, so your pals can delight in a much more in-depth tracking experience.
Do you keep in mind choosing in to that? Me neither.
Actually, if you dig through your personal privacy and also account setups, the choice to switch off location-sharing isn't available. However, it's pretty easy to transform it off. Here's exactly how:
- Because the location is displayed in light grey, it's really simple to miss out on. Constantly check the lower left of the standing box to see if an area is attached.
- If you get on the Internet, merely float the cursor over the location as well as click the "X." Your area will no longer be affixed, also to future statuses. If you later on transform your mind, just click the area pen 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, tap the location to remove it. On the apple iphone, you can turn off area solutions for Facebook entirely by going to Settings > Area Providers, and turning it off for Facebook.
