How To Find New Friends On Facebook By Location
The very first one was fantastic-- at any time you meet a beginner, you could going to Facebook and find out which friends you already share. It made life so interesting.
The 2nd one was a need to for taking a trip. If I was heading from Madison to Milwaukee or Chicago for the weekend break, the first thing I would certainly do was head over to Facebook and also see which of my friends were residing in my destination city.
Then Facebook removed the option. Then they included another way to do it with the My Buddies tab. Then they took that one away. After that you can do it by searching for the city and selecting "friends" Then that a person went. [sigh]
I surrendered. Facebook clearly didn't want me to know which of my friends were in Madison as well as which remained in Eco-friendly Bay. So I returned to mass texts and word-of-mouth, not understanding why this had to be so tough.
But great news: there's a brand-new method to search for friends by city on Facebook and also it is exceptionally very easy!
When you login to Facebook, at the really leading of the page, you will see a search bar.
It's where you look for friends, pages you like, cities, applications as well as anything else you intend to locate within Facebook.
The thing many people do not recognize however is that this search bar functions more like an actual search tool than they understand. If you key in an individual, a city or a web page, it will certainly show you that person, that city or that page. But you really could make your searches substantially a lot more thorough.
If you key in "my friends in Jakarta" [insert the name of any type of city], it will just provide you a list of your friends in Jakarta, Indonesia.
If you type in "ice cream places in Jakarta" it will list all the ice cream shops in Jakarta.
And so on.
It's worth noting that once you have entered in your search, Facebook will reveal you results based on exactly what they consider to be "top" locates for you. So that may mean they will only reveal you ice cream shops in Jakarta whose page you such as on Facebook. Or they might show you posts from your friends that have actually written about ice cream shops in Jakarta. (Keep in mind this will certainly not alter existing privacy filters. You still won't see any kind of content from people that haven't made their material offered to you.).
But look at the tool bar at leading and you will certainly observe that you have many options for the best ways to look.
Poke around in there as well as see just what else you discover. If you just want a list of pages for ice cream shops in Jakarta, click on "Pages" If you intend to see the most current posts, click "Latest" "Individuals" possibly will not obtain you far for this search, but when you are seeking which of your friends reside in a certain city, this will certainly be the tab for you.
