   Now that the folder has been opened, we need to find and tap the Viber application

   .

   There is a Viber icon, which is a purple speech bubble with a white telephone inside, and underneath it says the word "Viber". Your application may be in a different location, so look for the icon in your folder. In this tutorial, we want to demonstrate how to quickly turn on and off the location of messages that we send from Viber.

   We now need to tap on the faint icon to the right of "Type to compose"

   .

   It looks like a small arrow pointing north-east. It's currently faded, but when we press down on it, it turns purple. This is the location icon. If we normally don't mind that someone can see our location, but one day we go somewhere and don't want people to know our exact location during that time, we can quickly turn on and off this option. Even if we're just going to another city for the day and we don't want someone to know, we can turn it off.

   .

   If we press down on this pin, it's going to open up the map because the location is included with the message

   .

    We're going to go back by pressing "Your location" in the top left-hand corner of the screen

11. 11
    We're now going to turn the location service off so that the icon is gray, then send a message

    .

    

    Was this step helpful? Yes | No| I need help
12. 12
    We can see that this message does not have the location

    .

    Even though we've sent the exact same thing, the last message is smaller than the top message because it doesn't include that icon and the location information. This is a way of turning our location on and off quickly when sending messages.

How do I remove location from a Viber message I sent?

How do I remove location from a Viber message I sent

You can tap and hold a sent message. Then, tap on "Delete". Choose "Delete for everyone". If you have updated Viber, then you do not have the icon to add location to your lines anymore, but you can still press the plus button and tap on "Send Location" to send a one-time message with your approximate location. You can enable WiFi for a higher accuracy.
