If you look at the post-compose field on your device, you\u2019ll see the GPS icon. By default, when you post on X, the tweet won\u2019t contain any geographic information. You must tap the GPS icon in the post composer to use this feature.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>When you enable this feature, your post will contain the latitude and longitude coordinates. On Android and iOS devices, you can decide to give X the exact or approximate location. However, this feature is unavailable on desktop browsers as of January 2024.<br><br>Okay, this explains how you can look for tweets by location. What about users? Go to your account page, select the <strong>Edit Profile<\/strong> button, and go through the customization options. You\u2019ll come across the <strong>Location<\/strong> section. Here, you can enter the name of any location and save it in your profile. This way, your public profile page will display your geographic information when people check out your account.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"How_To_Search_Twitter_by_Location_3_Techniques_That_Work_Wonders\"><\/span>How To Search Twitter by Location: 3 Techniques That Work Wonders<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Now that you know this is possible, the next obvious question is, \u201cHow to search Twitter by location?\u201d There are several ways to use the geographic data on X to fine-tune your search results, as highlighted below.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">1. Use X\u2019s Native Search Bar To Look for Tweets and Users Near You<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The easiest way to Twitter search by location is to use X\u2019s search bar. Despite its simplistic nature, it does offer several ways to filter the results. Follow the instructions in this guide to find tweets from users by their geographic data:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Sign in to your X account. You need to do this, as Twitter no longer allows you to use the search bar without a profile.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>The search bar is visible on the top right corner for desktop users. You must tap the search icon in the mobile app\u2019s bottom navigation panel.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Enter the <a href=\"https:\/\/tweetdelete.net\/resources\/twitter-keywords-how-to-use-them-in-xs-advanced-search\/\">Twitter keyword<\/a> in the search field and press the enter key.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>If you use a desktop browser, you\u2019ll see <strong>Search Filters<\/strong> on the top right section of your screen. For mobile users, you need to tap the first icon next to the search bar. It looks like two swords. In <strong>Search Filters<\/strong>, left-click <strong>Near You<\/strong> under the <strong>Location<\/strong> section. The social media giant may ask you for your location data. The platform can still get your approximate location even if you don\u2019t share this information on your desktop browser.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The <strong>Top<\/strong> and <strong>Latest<\/strong> tabs in the search results page will show various tweets matching your query. Switch to the <strong>People<\/strong> tab to see only accounts by profile location.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery aligncenter has-nested-images columns-default is-cropped wp-block-gallery-2 is-layout-flex wp-block-gallery-is-layout-flex\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"538\" data-id=\"1889\" src=\"https:\/\/tweetdelete.net\/resources\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/Twitter-Location-Search-Feed-1200-x-630-1024x538.png\" alt=\"A screenshot by TweetDelete of the search bar in a user\u2019s timeline on X.\n\" class=\"wp-image-1889\" srcset=\"https:\/\/tweetdelete.net\/resources\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/Twitter-Location-Search-Feed-1200-x-630-1024x538.png 1024w, https:\/\/tweetdelete.net\/resources\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/Twitter-Location-Search-Feed-1200-x-630-300x158.png 300w, https:\/\/tweetdelete.net\/resources\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/Twitter-Location-Search-Feed-1200-x-630-768x403.png 768w, https:\/\/tweetdelete.net\/resources\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/Twitter-Location-Search-Feed-1200-x-630.png 1200w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">2. Try X\u2019s Geocode Search Operators<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>X has location search operators to improve the accuracy of the results page on the social media platform. They are special commands you can include in your query. Use the following search operators to see how they change the quality of your results:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Method 1:<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Use the <strong>near:location<\/strong> command to look for specific tweets from a geocode, postal code, city, state, and country. For example, <strong>near:denver<\/strong> will look for tweets from Denver.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>The <strong>within:radius<\/strong> defines the search distance. For example, <strong>within:2mi<\/strong> will show results within a two-mile radius.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>You can combine the two search operators to improve the accuracy of the results. For example, <strong>Mexican food near:Chicago within:5mi<\/strong> will show posts about Mexican food from Chicago within a five-mile radius.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Method 2:<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>In this method, you\u2019ll need the geographic coordinates for a specific location. You can get this data from Google Maps by placing a pin.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The latitude and longitude are visible on the desktop browser at the bottom of the screen. You must pull out the location card for mobile users to view these coordinates. Remember to place the pin in an empty location. Otherwise, Google Maps won\u2019t show you the geographic coordinates.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You can also use other third-party tools to get this information.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>With the geographic coordinates, you can use this search operator: <strong>geocode:lattitude,longitude,radius<\/strong>.&nbsp;<br><br>For example, <strong>geocode:38.8951,-77.0364,1mi<\/strong> will show tweets from Washington DC within a one-mile radius.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">3. Use a Third-Party Twitter Location Search Tool Like Birdhunt<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>If you find using search operators on X confusing, try Birdhunt. It is a third-party tool that looks for tweets and users according to their geographic location. Follow the instructions to learn how to use this utility:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Open BirdHunt on a desktop browser.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Manually place the pin on the map. You can also use the search bar to look for a specific location.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>After you place the marker, select <strong>Confirm Location<\/strong> on the top left corner of your screen.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>A filter pops up, where you can choose the radius of the search. Left-click <strong>Show Advanced Options<\/strong> to get more filters.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>You can search for posts using the following parameters:\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Queries<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Posts by media file<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Engagement metrics<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Remove or include replies<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Language<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>After you change the filters, left-click <strong>Search For Tweets<\/strong>.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<p>BirdHunt will open X search results page in a new tab.&nbsp;<br><br><strong>Note:<\/strong> You can look at the query in the search bar to see all the search operators used by this tool. This way, you can use the same commands in the future.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery aligncenter has-nested-images columns-default is-cropped wp-block-gallery-3 is-layout-flex wp-block-gallery-is-layout-flex\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"538\" data-id=\"1890\" src=\"https:\/\/tweetdelete.net\/resources\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/Twitter-Location-Search-BirdHunt-1200-x-630-1024x538.png\" alt=\"TweetDelete\u2019s screenshot of BirdHunt\u2019s website to find tweets via their geographic location.\n\" class=\"wp-image-1890\" srcset=\"https:\/\/tweetdelete.net\/resources\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/Twitter-Location-Search-BirdHunt-1200-x-630-1024x538.png 1024w, https:\/\/tweetdelete.net\/resources\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/Twitter-Location-Search-BirdHunt-1200-x-630-300x158.png 300w, https:\/\/tweetdelete.net\/resources\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/Twitter-Location-Search-BirdHunt-1200-x-630-768x403.png 768w, https:\/\/tweetdelete.net\/resources\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/Twitter-Location-Search-BirdHunt-1200-x-630.png 1200w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"How_To_Search_Twitter_Followers_by_Location_With_a_Third-Party_Tool\"><\/span>How To Search Twitter Followers by Location With a Third-Party Tool<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Searching through your follower list by location is helpful for several reasons.

You can make a new profile for free if you don\u2019t have one.&nbsp;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>You need to connect your <a href=\"https:\/\/tweetdelete.net\/resources\/twitter-profile-viewer-can-you-tell-who-visited-you-on-x\/\">X profile<\/a> with this tool. This is necessary to acquire information about your followers.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Open your <a href=\"https:\/\/tweetdelete.net\/resources\/how-to-create-a-second-twitter-account-a-quick-start-guide\/\">X account<\/a>\u2019s dashboard on Audiense.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Scroll down till you see the <strong>Country<\/strong> section in your dashboard. It highlights the countries of residence of all your followers. Click on any nation.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>In the search filter tab on the right, left-click the icon that looks like a globe.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Look for the <strong>Country<\/strong> filter. This filter\u2019s name will change depending on which region you click initially. If you click on the United States in the dashboard, this will be the filter\u2019s title.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Enter the name of the country in the text field.&nbsp;<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Left-click <strong>Save Filter<\/strong>, and you\u2019ll see followers from a specific country.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Try Circleboom<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Circleboom also has a feature to look for followers by location.

However, all your posts will contain your address if you were at home.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>What should you do if you accidentally leaked your home address? The best way to deal with this situation is to delete these tweets. But how do you find them if you did this a while ago? With TweetDelete\u2019s custom filter, locating these posts will only take a few minutes. Give the bulk-<a href=\"https:\/\/tweetdelete.net\/\">delete tweets<\/a> feature a go to remove hundreds of posts within a few seconds.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Use the auto-delete feature if you remember phrases or hashtags in those tweets.
