By default, Facebook Messenger includes your location in new messages. You can see where you are. (Of course, you should probably already know where you are, since you are there. You're in the now.) And you can see where your friend is. And if you zoom in, you can really see where your friend is. Understandably, you might not want that to happen. And while perhaps it might be better if Facebook Messenger's location service was opt-in instead of opt-out, at least it does give you a warning when you start a new conversation with someone.
Turn your Android phone.
Tap the Menu icon to go to the apps list.
Locate and tap the Facebook app icon to launch the app.
If you are not already logged-in, provide your login credentials in the given fields, and tap the Log In button.
On the News Feed window, tap the More icon (icon with the three horizontal lines) at top-right corner of the interface.
On the More interface, tap the App Settings option under the HELP & SETTINGS section.
Once the Settings interface opens up, tap the Messenger location services under the GENERAL SETTINGS section.
Note: Messenger location services feature will be on by default.
On the opened pop up box, tap to uncheck the checkbox representing Location is on to disable the feature.
