Location not given

ZozaTech

Most people don't want other people to know their real country, and even though sometimes they can put antartica, most people just don't want to show it, so instead of doing inspect element to make it Location not given, why can't it be an option to have location not given? Most people don't know how to do the inspect elememt trick.

Huh, I had to double check that Location not given was not an option. You're right, and strange enough, there are two options for the United States (I think this is for the previously selected country although it could be a bug).

Well, first of all, “Inspect Element” isn't permanent. It temporarily changes the HTML/CSS of a webpage.
This WAS a feature, I don't know why it's gone

Not for the locations! You enter an invalid option in inspect element, then press save now, and it comes up as Location not Given.

Could you please change the title to something better suitable?

There's already a way to set your location to Location not given, without using Inspect Element.

Immediately when you go Account Settings, go to Account and Save my Changes.

Yep. Also, it's not permanent. If you enter a two letter initial in all caps like ME, NO, or ST, the initial will show as your location.

Correct me if i'm wrong…

I personally think it's annoying how they have Antartica as their location!

I learned a way to do it: Just go to Account settings and double click the “Save my Changes” button. It really works!

Nothing seems to be working on my account. I've tried the inspect element and double clicking save changes and clicking the current location again. Could somebody please help me get location not given?

I want to have location not given. I feel safer if it is like that

It was a glitch, now it's been patched.

Also, the location only shows your country, and you have no way of even knowing if it's correct. What about that makes you feel unsafe?
