Here is the quick answer: To change your location on X, you can update your account country (for settings, trends, and recommendations) or edit your profile location (a free-text label visible on your profile). Use the mobile or web app to make these changes, and optionally manage geotagging for your individual posts.

1.1 Change Your Country Settings Within X

There is a built-in option to change your country settings on X. In general, it may set the default country as the United States, but you can easily update it to reflect the correct location. Follow these steps to adjust your country settings:

On Mobile (iOS or Android):

Step 1: Open the X app and log in to your account.
Step 2: Tap your profile icon in the top-left corner.
Step 3: Go to Settings & Support > Settings and privacy.
Step 4: Tap Your account > Account information.
Step 5: Under Country, choose your desired country from the list.
Step 6: Tap the Change button in the pop-up box.

On Desktop (Web Browser):

Here's how to change the country associated with your X account. This setting helps X personalize recommendations, ads, and content based on your region.

Step 1: Log in to your X account at x.com on your computer using your browser.
Step 2: Click on the More menu (three dots) in the left-hand menu. Then choose the Settings and privacy option.

Step 3: Click Your Account > Account information. Then enter your X account password to access your detailed account information.

Step 4: Under Account information, select Country and choose your preferred country from the list.

Step 5: Click the Change button in the pop-up prompt.

1.2 How to Change Trending Location on X

This is the most common solution users are looking for. If your goal is to see what's trending in a different city or country, this is the setting you need to change. This process will change the content in your "Trends" and "Explore" tabs. It will not change your "For You" feed, which is based on accounts you follow and your interests.

On Desktop (Web Browser):

The desktop interface makes this incredibly simple.

Step 1: Navigate to the Explore tab from the main menu on the left-hand side.
Step 2: At the top of the Trending list, click the Gear icon (Settings).

Step 3: In the Explore settings pop-up, uncheck the box for Show content in this location. This will reveal the option to select a new location.
Step 4: Click Explore locations and select your desired country or city from the list. You can also search for a specific location. Once you close the menu, your Explore page will immediately refresh to show you trends from the location you selected.

On Mobile (iOS or Android):

The process on the mobile app is slightly more buried in the settings but achieves the same goal.

Step 1: Tap your profile icon in the top-left corner to open the side menu.
Step 2: Tap on Settings and privacy at the bottom.
Step 3: On the next screen, tap Privacy and safety.
Step 4: Under the Your X activity section, tap Content you see.
Step 5: Tap Explore settings.
Step 6: Uncheck the Show content in your current location toggle.
Step 7: Once it's off, tap Explore locations (which is now selectable) to search for and choose your new location.

1.3 Change Your Profile Location (Free-Text Label)

This is how you change the location text that appears in your X profile (e.g., "New York, NY" or "Remote / Worldwide"):

Step 1: Log in to your X account via the app or browser.
Step 2: Then click or tap the Profile button in the left sidebar to go to your profile page.
Step 3: Click or tap the Edit profile button.

Step 4: Locate the Location field (this is a free-text box).
Step 5: Enter whatever text you want (city, country, nickname, etc.).
Step 6: Save your changes by tapping or clicking Save.

1.4 Add or Remove Location from a Post (Geotagging)

X supports geotagging, which adds a location to individual posts (if you enable it). Here's how to manage that:

Step 1: Go to your phone's Settings > Privacy > Location Services. Make sure Location Services is turned on.

Step 2: Open the X app. Tap your profile icon > Settings and privacy > Privacy & safety > Location > Precise location. Toggle the switch to On to enable precise location.

Step 3: When composing a post in the X app, tap the location pin icon. Select the specific place from the list.
