When I text or go on Facebook from within the iPhone app, I must hit something because when I'm keying a message it will show the person a small map of where I live!

I don't want my location shown!

What can I do to stop this from happening?

Thank you!

In the Facebook mobile app, tap the location to remove it. On the iPhone, you can turn off location services for Facebook entirely by going to Settings > Location Services, and turning it off for Facebook.
