When you post a Facebook status, you can choose to specify where you are and what you’re doing. If you’re at a park, a store or at any other location, you can tag your location, and if you’re at an event like a movie, you can add a Fb movie status or a status stating what you’re doing.
How Do I Show My Location On My Facebook Status
1. Update your current city from your profile
Make sure that your current city is updated on your profile and it is set to public. To do this,
Go to your profile on mobile or desktop. On the web version,Click on Profile and then click on about. Under About click on Places you’ve lived in and then input your Current City and Pick it when it appears.
On mobile, go to Profile and select Edit profile. Under Edit profile click on Edit Details.
Type in the current city and Pick it when it appears. This part is important.
2. Enable location from your phone settings
For this to work, you need to make sure location/GPS is enabled in your phone settings. Go through the settings and enable it if it’s disabled. You may simply pull down the Notification Center to enable it depending on the make of your phone.
Also, make sure to check permission settings. Make sure you have not specifically disabled location sharing for your Facebook app. If the Facebook app does not have the required permission to access your location, this might not work.
Removing your location from your Facebook status updates
If you need to remove your location from your Facebook status updates and photos, you should only do two things:
1. Remove/hide your current city from your profile

On mobile, go to Profile and click on Edit profile. Under Edit profile select Edit Details and click on Current city.Delete your current city or set the permission to “Only me.”
