Using location services on mobile devices
Enabling location services through Twitter's official apps allows Twitter to periodically determine your location. This allows us to provide, develop, and improve a variety of our services, including but not limited to:
- Showing your followers the location you are Tweeting from as part of your Tweet.
- Delivery of location-specific trends.
- Delivery of content, including Tweets and advertising, that is tailored to your location.
How to enable/disable location services on Twitter for iOS:
- Go to your device's Settings app and select Privacy.
- Tap Location Services.
- Locate the Twitter app and tap to select Never or While using the app.
How to enable/disable location services on Twitter for Android:
- In the top menu, tap on the overflow icon
(on the far right).
- Select Settings and then tap General.
