Overview
- Profiles now include a panel that displays an account’s primary location, username change history, original sign-up date, and whether access is via web or a specific app store.
- Many users can view the panel on their own profiles by tapping the Joined date, though visibility on other accounts remains limited during the rollout.
- Users can choose to show either their specific country or a broader region in Privacy and Safety settings, with country set as the default.
- Reports indicate the location label is inferred from App Store settings or IP data, raising accuracy questions that X has not publicly detailed.
- Code sleuths found signs of a forthcoming VPN or proxy disclaimer that would note the location may not be accurate, as public reaction ranges from support to concerns about harassment and misuse.
