How to Check in on Facebook

 

Check in to a Place on Facebook

The steps to check in to a place on Facebook on desktop and on mobile are pretty much the same. We’ll use Facebook’s website on a desktop for the demonstration.

Start by opening a web browser on your computer and accessing the Facebook site. Log in to your Facebook account if you haven’t already.

On the Facebook site, at the top, click the “What’s on Your Mind” box. This lets you create a new post in your account.

A “Create Post” window will open. In this window, next to “Add to Your Post,” click the “Check In” option (a map pin icon).

Facebook will open a “Search for Location” window. In this window, click the “Where Are You” box and type the name of the place you want to check in to.

In the same “Search for Location” window, select the desired location from the search results.

You’ll be back to the “Create Post” window. Here, at the top, you will now see your tagged location or place. You may now create your post as usual.

Once you’re ready to publish your post, at the bottom of the “Create Post” window, click the “Post” button.

And Facebook will publish your post along with your selected place tagged in it. Go ahead and brag about all the great places you’ve been to with these posts!
