In this video tutorial, we want to show you how to turn on and off the option to show your precise location in a tweet

First, we need to create a new tweet by pressing down on the icon in the bottom left hand corner of the screen. It is a gray quill pen in a gray box. This will allow us to create a new tweet.

The suggestions are quite broad
.
For example, it says "Georgia", which is the country, and it's a very big country. Therefore, we can show our precise location, such as the city or district. This could depend on our exact location. A more well known location, such as a big city, might have more map data than less known rural locations.

If we want to share our precise location, we have the option at the bottom of the screen
.
If the icon at the far right corner is gray, this means that the feature is currently deactivated.
Was this step helpful? Yes | No| I need help
11
If we press down on the icon, it will turn blue and activate the precise location feature
.
Now, when we share our location, it is going to try to show our precise location. As we've mentioned, this could be the neighborhood, barrier or the city, and not just the country.
Was this step helpful? Yes | No| I need help

However, if we don't want to show our precise location and want a more general location, we can turn this option off by pressing down on the same icon
.
This will turn the icon gray and deactivate the precise location feature.
