How to Remove Location Info From X Profile (A Quick Guide)
X launched a feature early Saturday showing account creation country, base location, app store, and username history for any profile that's active on the platform.
Prominent accounts commenting on U.S. politics or global conflicts often linked to places like India, Canada, or the Bahamas, prompting questions about authenticity and even the reliability of the #1 news app.
Defenders noted it reflects creation spot, not current home, and can shift with VPNs; X soon limited it to personal views with opt-outs amid privacy concerns, and here's the quick guide based on the available settings.
How to Remove Location Info From X Profile Quickly?
Here's how to hide location on X profile:
- Go to Settings and privacy page on X
- Tap on Privacy and safety
- Tap on About your account
- Check "Use Region / Continent" from this setting
That's it, now your profile will show Region or Continent names rather than showing your account creation country.
You can follow the screenshots below for a more easy understanding of how you can easily disable country info on your X account:
Go to X.com and click on the "More" button from the left sidebar:
Now click on the "Settings and privacy" option:
Now click on the "Privacy and safety" option:
Click on the "About your account" settings:
From here, check the "Use Region / Continent" option:
That's it. Now your X profile will show your Region/Continent, not your country.
However, this short rollout amplified calls for better transparency on who is really behind influential profiles, and some users are not happy about the new settings that let people turn off their country info on X, as it makes the feature useless in terms of transparency.
