We share more than we realise online. A picture of your front gate, your street sign, your building name, combined with other small details, can give strangers enough information to find where you live. If your privacy settings are loose, anyone can see this—friends of friends, random visitors, even people searching certain areas.
Double-checking what’s public on your profile—“About” section, tagged photos, visible posts—helps you control that exposure. You might choose to remove geotags, crop out identifiable details, or limit visibility of certain albums.
It doesn’t mean living in fear, just being intentional. You wouldn’t print your full address on a T-shirt for strangers, so it’s reasonable not to hand it out casually online either.
