Checking In
Windows Phone 8 enables you to check in at a location. To perform a Facebook check-in, open the Me tile and follow these steps:
1. Flick the screen to the Share page.
2. Tap Check-In.
3. Windows uses your location information to retrieve a list of nearby locations. Tap your desired location.
Custom Locations
Although being able to choose from a list of
locations is handy, it might not work so well in dense urban areas. If
you find that your location isn’t on the list (or if the list is too
long to sort through), you can use a different method. At the bottom of
the locations list are two icons. One is a Search icon, which lets you
search the locations for the one you want to check in at. The other is
an Add icon that lets you define your own locations.
