Remove Location Info On Twitter

BY · Leave a Comment

With Twitter introducing location information when you post a Tweet or an update, it could be bothersome and somewhat dangerous if people will know where you are updating your status from. If you have already posted statuses with location information on them, here is an article that will simply show you on how to erase them.

Deleting location info on Twitter

To delete all of your location information on your past tweets on Twitter, simply follow these steps:

  1. First, click on the gear icon drop-down menu.
  2. GearIconTwit

  3. Choose Settings.
  4. SettingsTwit

  5. Go to the Account tab.
  6. AccountTwit

  7. Choose Security and Privacy.
  8. SecPrivTwit

  9. On the ‘Tweet Location’ section, simply click on the Delete all location information button.
  10. DelLocInfoTwit

  11. A pop-up dialog box will appear to confirm your deletion – just click yes.
  12. ConfirmDelTwit

  13. Wait for about 30 minutes for your request to be processed, since it may take time for Twitter to manually delete the location information of your previous tweets (maybe even more if you have a lot of tweets in the past with location info on them).
  14. Another alternative is to delete your tweets which have location information on them, but it may take a lot of time, especially if you have a lot of tweets (like a thousand or more).

Prevent tweets from adding location

You can also prevent Twitter from detecting or adding your location. Simply follow these steps:

  1. First, click on the gear icon drop-down menu.
  2. GearIconTwit

  3. Choose Settings.
  4. SettingsTwit

  5. Go to the Account tab.
  6. AccountTwit

  7. Choose Security and Privacy.
  8. SecPrivTwit

  9. On the ‘Tweet Location’ section, simply uncheck the ‘Add a location to my Tweets’ option and click Save.
  10. UncheckLocTwit

Advantage of removing location info

Updating your social media status with location info can be a big opportunity for stalkers and thieves to find out if you are out of your house, so it is a good idea to not include your location info at all, unless it is really important (e.g. for celebrities and famous people). Majority of robbery crimes today usually stem from the fact that they get status updates from people who post their location and vacation pictures and thus, take the opportunity to barge into their homes while they are away. If you really do want to post information about your location, you can also choose to make your tweets private.

Conclusion

While the location information system of Twitter can be of good use to some, it could be abused if you are not careful how you use it, and it can be used against you if you are careless about posting sensitive and private data. Make sure to tell this to your friends and family who are frequently posting status updates and using locations – they should be careful with whom they share the updates with or else it could be their disadvantage.
