Privacy and safety
A quick privacy checkup for your social media profile
A practical routine for reviewing what your profile reveals and tightening settings that may have changed.
Review your profile from a visitor’s perspective
Check your bio, profile photo, linked accounts, and public highlights. Ask whether each detail still needs to be public, especially location, workplace, school, or regular routines. Remove or update information that no longer serves you.
Revisit older posts and tags
Older photos and posts can reveal more in combination than they do individually. Review tagged content, audience settings, and location labels. Where available, remove tags or limit who can see older posts you would no longer share publicly.
Secure access and repeat occasionally
Use a unique password, enable two-factor authentication, and review active sessions and connected apps. Make this a short recurring check rather than a one-time task, since platform menus and your own sharing preferences can change.
