How to disable the function of the locations in Facebook and reduce iPhone energy consumption?

Facebook app consumes a lot of energy due to the location function. How to turn it off?

The most important source of problems with Facebook's power consumption is to monitor your location, which works even when the application is disabled. In this article we will discuss the question of how to disable the "location history" on Facebook.

What is the story of the location?

This option records all your accurate locations received from GPS services and various geolocation applications. When the function is in an active condition, Facebook watches where you are now, even if you have already turned off the application.

Yes, you might think that it is enough to disable this option and forget about it. But everything is not so simple. If you use the Option of Friends nearby, the location turns on on your own.

If the option is not available or you just don't like it, then turn it off and Facebook will cease to follow you and spend the battery charge. This option is turned off over several stages.

How to turn off the "Location History"?

• Open Facebook

The story of Facebook locations

• Tap the "More ..." button at the bottom of the page
• Next, select "Friends nearby"

How to turn off the story on Facebook?

• Click on the gear
• Next, select the location setting
• Click the switch to activate or deactivate the option

When the option is disabled, you need to prohibit Facebook access to your location.

How to prohibit Facebook to follow me?

This can be done as follows:

• Open settings
• Go to privacy parameters, geolocation services and further Facebook
• Select NEW or when using the program

Adjusting geolocation for Facebook

According to the approval of the application developers, if you do all actions, the device will not be tracked even in the background.

What point to choose - never when using the program?

When choosing a "Never" parameter, you strongly issue with this feature. The tracking of your location will stop working, and all the features of Facebook will also turn off, which need geolocation to work. For example, it will be impossible to add the location to the post, take advantage of the friends nearby and so on.

As a compromise, you can use the "when using the program". In other words, while you use the application, select this item, and when it is turned off, switch to another.

In addition, this option provides access to your location only if the application itself or one of its functions is shown on the screen.
