Make accounts private
Use private accounts for children and review who can follow or contact them.
What to do
Use these steps as a practical starting point.
Limit contact from strangers
Restrict messages, comments, mentions and group invitations from unknown people.
Check app permissions
Allow camera, microphone, contacts and photos only when the app genuinely needs them.
Turn off unnecessary location sharing
Share location only for a clear purpose and stop sharing when it is no longer needed.
Review settings regularly
Privacy settings can change after app updates, so check important accounts once a month.
Choose one important account now and review its privacy and permission settings.
