How To Track Someone Through Facebook Messenger Without Them Knowing:
To track someone’s location on Facebook Messenger, you can try the following tools to trace:
1. Messenger LIVE Location
If you are not friends with the person then you will not be able to know the location of that person using Messenger.
Users have to request their friends to share their live location. You can send any location to your friends by pinning it.
🔴 Steps To Follow:
Step 1: First of all, launch your Messenger app on your device.
Step 2: Now, make sure you are logged in to your Facebook account.
Step 3: Next, open the chat window or the conversation of your friend with whom you want to share your location.
Step 4: Now, tap on the 4-dots icon which you can see down in the left corner. Tap on the ‘Location‘ feature.
Step 5: Once you do this, tap on ‘Allow Location Access‘ and drag the map such that the red pin is at the location you are at.
Step 6: And finally, tap on the send pin to send your location. This is how you can share your live location with your friends and let them know your exact location.
Be sure that this method only works when both the people in a conversation have accepted the share location option.
If you still don’t know the location of your friends on Messenger with the above methods, you can use this method for the same.
You can use the location Hashtags that your friends have used on the images or the videos that they have posted on Messenger as a story or as a post on the Facebook app.
☛ The location of your friends that you acquire from the location hashtags may not necessarily be their current location. It may have been their location when they posted it a while ago.
☛ This location used as a Hashtag can also be used as a fake location just to confuse their friends.
🔴 Steps To Follow:
Step 1: First of all, when you place the Hashtag on the post or the Messenger story of your friend, tap on the tag location.
Step 2: Tap on the ‘Show location‘ button, and get the location pulled up onto your mobile screen.
Step 3: You will be redirected to Google Maps which will show you the location of your friend. However, this location may not be their exact location. It is the location where they posted that particular story or video on the Messenger app.
How to find out where a Facebook Message was sent from:
One simple way in which you can find out where the message sender or the message is from is to go and visit the Facebook profile of the particular individual.
Sometimes the location is mentioned in the bio, or you can ascertain the same by looking at the posts they made in the duration when they sent a particular message. You can also look at their friends and their profile names and deduce where this person may be from. Another thing you can do is go to their “About Info” section from their profile area and scroll to find their country.
