The comma makes all the difference I think. That is what it would mean without the comma.
(Just to complicate things Duo ignores most punctuation so I tried 不在那儿 without the comma and it was accepted, but it is really not correct for this sentence without the comma as I understand it, since the comma completely changes the meaning.)

What is the difference between 那儿 (nàr) and 那里 (nàli)? Is this some kind of difference in dialect between different parts of China?

This is what I was wondering too. Can we have a native speaker clarify if 不 can be used standalone like this?

I'm not sure what software you're using, but mine shows options e.g. from 1 to 7, 1 might be 哪儿 and 2 那儿 so I type the number I want on a computer and press whichever I want on my phone.
On a MAC, I have setup 'PINYIN - simplified' as a alternate keyboard choice. I can quickly switch between English and Pinyin. I can wait for the individual character selection choice to show up or just keep typing. When you just keep typing it does predictive fill in. Most of the time it comes out correctly. You should be able to setup alternate keyboards on your computer and phone. On the computer it will be in the 'key board' settings and then 'input sources'. On a phone look for the keyboard settings, then you should be able to select alternate keyboards.
But in Chinese they are different.Maybe someone know your mean,but you are wrong.I am Chinese.My English isn't good,I think you know my mean.
I would like my Chinese to be as good as your English. Yes I know your meaning, they are different words. I was commenting on the auto type function. It automatically changes the characters from 那儿 to 哪儿, sometimes. Thanks for your comments. We appreciate native Chinese speakers helping us understand.
