Did you know that Facebook actually just released a new update that's going to
allow you to turn off location tracking data or location tracking services while
the update was actually just released for Android users but it's also a
feature that you can do on your iPhone if you have an iPhone as well so stay
tuned we're going to show you how to do that in this video
welcome back everybody and thank you for joining me my name is Jordan Steen also
known as Cereal Entrepreneur and if you haven't been to my channel before we
talked all about starting a marketing agency building a personal brand with a
youtube channel or blog something like that and any other type of business that
you want to try and build online so if you're interested in any of those topics
hit that subscribe button and the notification bell in the bottom right
hand corner and we'll make sure to update you with all of our free training
our newest resources our free giveaways that we do every single week at my
channel now Android and Apple devices both have an on/off switch for your
location tracking services just in the Facebook app obviously you can turn
these settings on and off on your phone but you might not want to because you
might want them on for other things like Google Maps or any other map service
that you want to use right so you don't necessarily want to turn your
location tracking services completely off but maybe you're concerned about
your data with Facebook especially with some of the breaches they've had in the
last year well we're gonna cover that in this video along with some other things
that you might want to know about location tracking services as a marketer
oh and PS make sure to stay tuned to the end of today's video because if you do
we'll give you our list of social media monitoring tools that you're going to
want to have for your agency or any type of online business in 2019 so Facebook
if you're not already aware has been struggling with data breaches and really
just maintaining security of people's information a lot of people don't like
their private information going out to the public which I completely understand
unfortunately I can't really take advantage of that because my steps
pretty much just out there but most people you know in today's day and age
want to have their information secure and so Facebook is doing everything that
they can to try and make it easier for people to be able to manage their own
settings on what data is being collected and what's not so that's why they
released this new rollout of a feature within Facebook that allows you to
toggle it on and off you can actually toggle on and off the data saving so
that way it won't actually save the data but you can actually leave your location
tracking services on so it's a really cool feature and I'm gonna show you guys
how to do that really quick oh and if you like these digital marketing news
like segments that we do every week I need you to do me a favor leave a thumbs
up we're trying to figure out if we should keep doing these segments or not
we get a bunch of thumbs up on this video probably
around 50 we'll make sure to keep the segments that way we can keep doing news
for you guys each week now guys location tracking it's kind of a
tricky little beast here because here's the thing as marketers we need location
tracking services on because it gives us better data to give to our business
owners if we don't have location tracking services on at all or if the
user doesn't have it on at all people going to somewhere like a restaurant
where we have to use offline you know tracking to Turman if someone's actually
coming into that restaurant with our ad spin no one has their location tracking
services on we're not gonna get any pings to our pixel saying that someone's
actually come into their store really you know it has a marketer you have to
understand that it's an important thing we really don't even like to do videos
updating people about things like this and it's just because we don't want to
let other people know to turn it off or even how to turn it off it's not because
we're trying to steal your data it's just because we like to do better jobs
as marketers and with that data it allows us to do that type of thing
services are super important for us marketers you know we have we rely on
these types of services to really make it useful for these clients that are
coming to us and saying hey you know spend all this money on ads but bring us
results right that allows us to bring results the other side of this is people
don't even realize this is what helps you connect with other people it tells
you what events people are going to or places that people are going to that you
might want to try it gives you suggestions about what your friends are
doing yet people have a ton of issues with you know the ability to track every
single place that you're going but really quickly guys if you're feeling a
little lost in today's you know conversation what were even talking
about you might want to check more about starting a marketing agency this should
be or could be something that is right up your alley so if you're looking at
one of the best marketing courses of 2019 or you're considering taking a
marketing program check out this video on the top right hand corner so let's
hop into the app really quick and show you guys exactly how to you know set
these location settings but before I jump into that and show you that do you
feel Facebook is doing a good enough job at securing data what are your thoughts
on what they're doing with the data and information are you really bothered by
it with your public information getting out there as long as it's not like your
credit cards and like your social security are you really that concerned
what are your thoughts on all of this data that Facebook is collecting I'd
like to know in the comments below alright everyone so to set your location
settings you can do it on desktop or mobile we're going to show you how to do
it on mobile but all you need to do is click this little button right here the
little drop down or get to the section where it shows you all of your settings
and your groups and everything like that right then you're just going to click
settings you're going to scroll all the way down to where you see location
and once you get here that's all you have to do you can turn off location
history okay and that's where they're actually saving the data but you can
leave it on if you want them to you know ping you when you're in locations and
your friends are there things like that so you have the but you have the option
to turn off whether they can save that data or not so it's super simple and
you're pretty much whether you're on iPhone or Android going to use that
exact same step or those exact same processes to do that alternatively
everybody if you want to do it on your phone you're just gonna go to pretty
much the same process on your phone you'll find settings on your phone go to
location settings and then BOOM turn off your location tracking services you can
actually get there by clicking on this right here these are all of my
settings that I use location tracking on so if I wanted to I could just turn all
of them off but obviously I like mine on because I like you know maps and I like
getting data turned into you get products and services and friends
suggested to me instead of me having to go search for it right
so I leave mine on completely up to you but I wanted to show you guys that you
have that option as well so thank you guys for watching today's digital
