An option to hide your location would be appreciated, since it's a bit difficult trying to conversate when everyone knows you're from a third world country. Just a suggestion, an addition to requesting someone's location in case they would want to, along with hiding it until then. I do prefer the old site, how it looked, the friends list, the location settings, notifications/audio, along with how you could have a conversation with someone for hours and still have the messages left untouched, instead of them disappearing if the conversation persists.
Well, I know what it is since I experience it firsthand. Before the conversation starts, it ends with them having no clue of where I live. People tend to feel uneasy about it, we're looked down on. I never had that issue on the previous site, since it wasn't visible.
True why isn't there an option to just hide location I mean that's a simple change. I hope you can use this feedback and add it like old chat had @Stanthropical
Atleast make it so registered users had it like they used to a custom place and maybe even hide the flag. I face certain stereotype based on my country due to it and I'm staying away.
