Facebook saves your movements to be able to deactivate them.

Facebook, like Google, records your travel and location as accurately as possible by visiting all the places visited. We will teach you today how to disable this feature.

Regeneration, November 3, 2018.– If there is a company that has been polled recently for its privacy, that is Facebook. If you regularly use the Android application on Facebook, you are transmitting your constant position to the company.

Facebook, like Google, keeps a record so accurate that you can visit all the places visited.

Before the recording was not public, but Facebook decided to give users access to permanently deleting locations.

Facebook can access the location and send it in the background without you noticing it. Besides the risk of confidentiality, this also implies an additional consumption of the application.

How to access Facebook's location history

Let's start by going to the Facebook section where the location history is reflected. You can find it both in your Android application and in the help of a web browser. The steps are as follows:

Open your Facebook app for Android.

Go to Settings and enter "Settings and Privacy".

Get off at "Place".

Enter "Location History".

Enter your Facebook password again.

What do you want to back up all these steps? Access the Facebook location history from this web link. You will need to enter your password.

Facebook discovered who was behind the hack and his intentions

Facebook will show you a global map with the red spots you visited. You can move between days and access the full calendar by clicking on the first three points. Every place where you stopped appears with a big red dot and a white dot inside.

If Facebook has saved an intermediate location, only a small red dot will appear. This surprises with the accuracy of the places, especially since Facebook does not have to save this information.

How to clear Facebook's location history

You have already seen that by simply using the application, it saves by default all the places you move during the day even without actually opening the application. Facebook allows you to delete all saved places, which we recommend you do. You can delete a specific day or delete the record completely. For this you have to operate like this:

Go back to Facebook's location history by following the steps above.

Click on the three menu items.

Click on "Delete all location history".

Until now, you will have deleted everything that Facebook has saved from you in terms of trips and places visited. Since it does not serve you as a social network user, it is best to delete the history and that the application continues to register new locations.

Prevent the Facebook app from saving all your placements

Since Facebook does not need this registration because you can not block the phone remotely nor find it in case someone steals it (the opposite of the controversial location history of Android which, at least, has its practical use), we recommend you block the sending of the site. You just need to do the following:

Go to the location settings in the Facebook settings.

Disable the "Location History" button so that it switches to "Disabled".

In addition, remove the localization permission from the Facebook application. Access your Android settings, enter apps, and navigate to the permissions list. Enter the location, search for Facebook and delete access.

From that moment, Facebook should not have your sites and you should not be able to use your mobile to sign up and send them. An additional step would be to completely eliminate the application of your phone and access the social network only from the mobile browser: the battery of your mobile will thank you.
