Dear friend,

Something I want to share with you before you get involved in the whole social media world is that your privacy is something you should take very seriously. No matter what social media platform you choose to download and get involved with it is important to know and understand these things. One is to always be aware of the people you let follow your page, two is how often you are posting your location to the public, and three how many times you give out your username or password to someone. Whatever the case may be just always be aware of what you choose to post and who you let follow you. There has been an update to Instagram recently when you download the newest IOS where if you post your general location for people to see if they want to they can stalk your exact location. As far as the other apps go, some that are very popular include Snapchat and TIktok. Snapchat can easily be found if you have your snap maps on for your followers to see; though you can make it so only a select few people of your choice can view your snapchat location. For Instagram however, once you post your general location there is no going back; no matter what if someone wants to find your exact location they will be able to. As far as other apps go, like Tiktok for example, people can see everything you post if you are not careful with who you let follow you. Any post you make will automatically be shared with everyone even if they are not following you or if you are not following them. Overall you want to be very careful with who you let follow you on any social media app because regardless of who you think you may trust you do not know your followers’ friends well and if they can be malicious towards you at any time they want. People have more time than you may think in regards to being able to figure out how to hack your account or worse try to stalk your every move; sometimes even people can have a tracking device on your cell phone, and you will never know. Overall, be very careful with the social media platforms you choose to invest your time into. Be aware of your surroundings and aware of what bad people are capable of doing.
