I got my IPhone4 a few days ago and have installed a few apps. The FaceBook App for the IPhone4 enables you to "check in" with your current location like the 4Square.com idea. Mine was working then it stopped, I tried a bunch of stuff. I tried turning off my IPhone, reinstalling the FaceBook application and so on. Finally I found a solution to the stupid problem.
What worked to fix FaceBook check in :
- Go to settings>
- general>
- reset>
- reset location warnings
Other people have had success getting check in working this way:
Go to Settings -> Location Services -> Turn FB on
If either of those solutions don't work you can check here.

You Sir, are a genius. I haven’t been able to use Check-in since I first put the App on my iPhone. Brilliant!
thanks myn it works 😉
Thanks for the help – spot on! I’m now a happy lady :0)
I feel like an idiot – I have the iPhone 4 and I cannot correct this issue. I went to my FB icon. I clicked Account. I selected Account Setting. I cannot find the General ara. I looked under the Privacy Settings button as well. What am I missing?
Finally I figured it out – it was the iPhone, not the FB setting. Got it.
Thanks, that was so easy!

I did the reset and it still wouldn’t work. I WAS able to make it work by click on the “settings” buttin with the update status screen and clicked friends only. Then it let me post. I guess you have to set that before it will work.
Nope, didn’t work
it worked perfectly for me..thanks much! ?
