How to Change Location on Facebook

Location is just one of Facebook’s many features, designed to tailor and personalise each user’s experience on the app.

The location that you list on your profile has an impact on how potential friends can find you, which suggested friends appear in your feed, which ads you are sent, and which businesses choose to market to you – so keeping your location up to date is important.

Here’s how to update and change your location so that it accurately reflects where you are based and the kind of experiences and businesses you want to see and learn more about.

5 Steps to Update Your Facebook Location

1. Click on the menu button in the bottom right hand corner of your screen, and select your name to visit your profile page
2. Click on ‘Edit Profile’ under your profile picture at the top of your feed
3. Scroll down until you find the ‘Details’ section
4. Click ‘Edit’ in the top right hand corner of the Details section
5. Under ‘Current Town/City’ click on the pencil icon and enter your new location

Once confirmed, your profile will update, and you may start to notice your suggested friends and local events start to change.

Other changes that will occur with a new and updated location include Facebook Marketplace offers and the availability of products in your local area, and other adverts that might start to pop up in amongst videos and reels that you watch.

We hope this helps! Keeping your location updated is the best way to ensure your experience on Facebook is always personalised and tailored to you.
