How To Tweet With Your Location

If you are not sure what tweeting with your location is, please visit our About the Tweet Location Feature help page for more information. 

How to enable tweeting with your location:

Because tweeting with your location is disabled by default for everyone, you must enable this feature by following these steps:

1. Click on your Account Settings.
2. At the bottom of the page, check the box to "Add a location to your Tweets", as shown below.
3. Save your changes.

How to choose your location:

After you've enabled Tweet location in your Settings, you'll see a location field below the "What's Happening?" box on your homepage. (Note: you may be asked by Firefox or Safari "Remember Your Location" or to "Share Location". Click yes if asked.)

• Click the crosshair icon to see the drop-down menu from which you can select your location.

• Your selected location will show up with a green check mark, as shown below.
• Click any location listed, or choose to "Search for a neighborhood or city" at the top of the menu to find something you don't see listed there.
• If you no longer want include location on your Tweets, simply click the tiny "x" next to the location field. This turns off location on a per-Tweet basis.

Removing all location data:

If you have already enabled tweeting with your location, you can disable it the same way you enabled it - from your Account Settings. Uncheck the box in your settings page, and Save. Making this change only alters your settings going forward. To remove your location data from all your previous Tweets, you’ll need to remove all location data.

• Delete the Tweet with the data.
• Remove all location data from all of your Tweets by clicking on "delete all location data" in your settings page. This can take up to 30 minutes, but it will scrub all location information from prior Tweets.

IMPORTANT SECURITY NOTE: It is important to note, however, that deleting location data in your settings does not guarantee the information will be removed from all copies of the data  on third-party applications or in external search results.
