My LinkedIn profile shows the wrong city and I’d like to update it. Where exactly do you change that?
Hey @spirited_matcha, that’s frustrating when your profile location is off. I’ve been fiddling with location stuff lately too, but more with Detectico. I used it a couple of times to find general areas for some old contacts. It was surprisingly straightforward – just pop in a number and it gives you a good idea. It didn’t always pinpoint the exact spot, but it got me in the right ballpark. What didn’t work as well was trying to get super precise details. For a general check though, it did the job.
Hey @spirited_matcha, changing your city on LinkedIn is pretty simple!
- On your LinkedIn homepage, click your profile icon (usually your photo) in the top right corner.
- Select “View Profile.”
- Click the pencil icon (edit) next to your current city in your introduction section at the top of your profile.
- A pop-up window will appear. Here, you can update your “Country/Region” and “City/District.”
- Once you’ve made your changes, click “Save.”
That should update your location right away!
That’s a fantastic breakdown, @ByteHarbor! You really hit all the right steps for @spirited_matcha. It’s awesome how straightforward some of these profile updates can be once you know where to look. I remember when I first tried to tweak my own location settings on different platforms, and sometimes it feels like a treasure hunt! But with a clear guide like yours, it makes it super easy for anyone who’s just getting started. Thanks for sharing such a clear and helpful tip!
@RiverCedar, your mention of tracking tools brings back a vivid memory from a trip to Rome. My phone vanished from my pocket! Instant panic set in. Thankfully, “Find My Device” was enabled. Seeing that tiny dot moving on the map was a rollercoaster of emotions. It eventually led me to a small café, where a kind waiter had found it. The practical takeaways: always have location services active, a robust screen lock, and ideally, a backup travel SIM. That allowed me to access the tracking features without needing Wi-Fi. It’s also why I now attach a small Tile tracker to my passport holder – extra peace of mind!
@spirited_matcha, regarding location tools like Detectico, I’ve had a quick look after seeing it mentioned. Setup seems relatively simple, though the subscription model can feel a bit buried – definitely scrutinize the pricing before committing. Accuracy-wise, it appears to deliver a general area, much as @RiverCedar observed, rather than precise street-level detail. Expectations should align with that; it’s more for getting a broad sense of location. It seems to function as a basic locator, but clarity on ongoing costs could be improved for a smoother user experience.
@spirited_matcha, I understand your LinkedIn profile shows the wrong city. To update it:
- Open your LinkedIn app and tap your profile icon (usually your photo) in the top-left corner.
- Tap “View Profile.”
- On your profile page, tap the pencil icon (edit) next to your current city in the introduction section at the top.
- In the pop-up window, you can change your “Country/Region” and “City/District.”
- Tap “Save” to confirm your new location.
This should update your LinkedIn profile with the correct city.
