Can You Edit Your Check-in Location On Untappd?

Forgive the blurry Half Acre beer, I want you to look at the Untappd board. I messed this check-in up, but I learned how to fix it

Can You Edit Your Location After Posting On Untappd?

Yes. You can totally edit your location after you check-in on Untappd and change it to the right one.

I recently used Untapped (tired as I am at taking pictures of my beer) to check-in a beer at Whole Foods.

I know, weird right? Yes, this particular Whole Foods is one of the ones that have a taproom too, so it was totally cool and legit that I was drinking beers inside a grocery store.

Anyway, I check my beer into Untappd, and they have a live board so I am waiting to see my stupid ass face pop up at the bottom of the screen. And then… nothing. The screen gave me nothing.

I made sure to use the venue both on location and purchase but I still was not coming up on the board.

Turns out that this place has multiple location options for checking in and chose the wrong one. There was:

  • Whole Foods Market – Santa Clara
  • Floodcraft (the actual name of the taproom)

After some research, I figured out the right one. For some reason it turned out to be “Whole Foods Market – Santa Clara” which I thought is weird. It should have been “Floodcraft” which is the one I checked in. Nope. I never came up on the board.

But it’s too late, right? I already checked in.

Nope. It’s NOT too late.

How To Edit A Check-in On Untappd

  • Pull up the post/check-in that needs correcting and click on it. You should have “Check-in Detail” at the top of the screen now.
  • Click the three dots at the top right.
  • You should have an option of “edit”, so click that.
  • Under “Location” find the proper location you want to change to and do the same for “purchased location”.
  • Save it. Now your check-in should show up as you wanted it to.

It may take a minute before you see your check-in displayed on the board. Also, MAKE SURE to check-in the place you purchased the beer in “location” AND “purchased location”, otherwise it might not get up on the board.

Because sweeping the board is sometimes the only interesting thing to do in a taproom.

P.S. I have a guide to Untappd that you can have for nothin’

What Is The Point Of Untappd?

Good Beer peeps is the point of Untappd

A lot of brewers grumble about Untappd and Untappd users. They get mad at the bad ratings. Get mad at the “One star, not my style” guy (who DOES suck, mind you).

It may lead them to cry out “What is even the point of Untappd!?”

The point of Untappd, to me, is this:

  • The colorful characters of Untappd.
  • The documenting of beers drank, keeping a record.
  • The ability to find information about a beer. What am I supposed to be tasting here?
  • A social media that is a closed circuit for beer lovers.

I Am So Tired Of Taking Pictures Of My Beer

I had to push myself to take this

Everything is fucking exhausting. Including taking pictures of my beer.

Are we not all sick of it?

Sick of Instagram. Sick of posting a picture with our Untappd check-ins?

I know I know, you might be saying:

“My guy, you don’t have to take a picture! You can just open a beer and drink it and not tell a soul. Or check-in your Uniques on Untappd, without a picture.”

Yes yes, and I do that.

But then… the Untappd check-in is super boring without a picture.

And I can’t get more followers on Instagram by NOT posting pictures.

So pictures it is.

I just wanted to rant that I am tired of it, is all.
