How does Twitter Location work?
You might already know that most social networking platforms including Twitter allow you to have complete control over everything. You can set the location to wherever you want.
If you want to change your location to somewhere else, you will have to begin your journey by knowing the basics.

Changing Location by Searching on Twitter

Twitter will allow you to change the location when you search it. So, it won’t be a big deal to change the location.

An advanced way to change the location on Twitter
You can always use the advanced way to change the location of your Twitter account. For that, you will first have to change the GPS location.
