Facebook to adjust calculations for total check-ins displayed on place pages

Facebook says it will change how check-ins are calculated so that place pages more accurately reflect how many people visited a location.

According to a post on the Facebook Studio blog, when users check into a place multiple times within a 12-hour period, that action will now count as a single check-in. Previously each check-in was added to a page’s total. Similarly, when people tag a location in several photos, that will only count as one check-in. However, if someone uploads a photo and tags several friends along with the location, each friend tagged and the person who shared the photo will be counted as having been to the location.
