Also having problems with the "Who's near me" function.

I'm based in Liverpool, but recently have been hearing from people in Belfast, Coventry and now Stockport.

What's going on? How can I put this right?

It's because it's UK site, listing UK postcodes. But there are other sites for Fab: Australia, Canada, Ireland, and New Zealand.

This function is based on your phones location, so it will take measurement from your phone. Depending where you live in Liverpool, it will pick up Ireland as part of who's near me.

You need to make sure that within your browser settings, that this site has permissions allowed for you location, if not then that will cause the problem

If you’re using iPhone pause the Private Relay in iCloud settings. It’s like a secondary server you’re connecting through.

I also have this problem with location. For some reason since I changed my phone I can't see "who's near" despite having my location turned on. It's really annoying especially if I'm visiting somewhere as I can't see who's near me. From Ireland here bty

I’m having the same problem. The who’s near me setting is stuck on an old post code and won’t flip over when I move or if I reset my location. I don’t have the problem on Swingers, just on guys

I have not encountered this problem on my new Samsung phone. Right now it shows a dozen within a few miles of me so I doubt the fault is site wide.

Best way I found a fixing this issue is

1. On the same browser, close Gangi’s and open a new browser page and Go to Google Maps. maps.google.com

2. That you To continue using Maps using the web (don’t use The Google Maps app)

3. Tap the your location icon (Usually on the bottom right).

4. Allow your location to be used.

5. Restart fabguys

Did you get a resolution to this? I’m having the same problem.

It’s fine on safari but not on chrome. Fab swingers is fine across both browsers so it’s just fab guys/chrome!

On your phone home screen, if it shows location, e.g. for weather, make sure you refresh that when moving around, see if that works.
