Maybe it was a blog on LiveJournal or an album of prom pictures on Facebook (bet that\u2019s private now). If you\u2019re like me, pressing that \u2018share\u2019 button probably felt a little scary. Who can actually see this stuff? Where does it go? As our reliance on social media has grown and sharing has become ingrained in our society, that sense of fear has somewhat lifted.<\/p>\n<p>We\u2019ve become more comfortable sharing online, and heck, even celebrities are broadcasting their lives everywhere from Snapchat to Twitter! Who cares what little ol\u2019 me has to say when Beyonc\u00e9 is live streaming? Let me be the bearer of bad news \u2013 anytime that you share personal information through your mobile device, you\u2019re not just sharing with family and friends, you could be sharing with strangers too.<\/p>\n<p>Maybe you want to show off your great hair day or check in at the airport before hopping on a flight, but always think about your safety before sharing your location online. Sharing a photo of your home on Instagram with location sharing enabled could potentially share that private information with predators. Every piece of information that we share online contains valuable data, and your location is information that not everyone should be privy to \u2013 especially online predators.<\/p>\n<p>There are times that sharing your location is valuable, like with family members through secure apps, but as a general rule, sharing this data should be on your no-no list.<\/p>\n<h2>Follow our rules of thumb, and keep your whereabouts on the down-low:<\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li><u>Just Say No:<\/u> This one may be tough to swallow, but we recommend turning off the GPS function on your phone altogether. This stops apps and even your camera from gathering location-based information from your device. To turn off location sharing on your device, head to privacy in the system\u2019s settings, then toggle the \u2018location services\u2019 button to off.<\/li>\n<li><u>Go Ahead, Be Picky:<\/u> If you think turning off all of your location sharing is overboard, then take a minute to review all of the apps that are using your location information. This information can also be found under \u2018Location Services,\u2019 and can be an enlightening look into just how much your phone knows about you. Look through the apps that use this data, and unselect the ones that you don\u2019t want to have access. Some of these may shock you!<\/li>\n<li><u>If You Didn\u2019t Geotag, Did You Even Go?:<\/u> We\u2019re living in the age of sharing. We share when something big happens in our lives, and even what we\u2019re having for lunch. The next time you just <em>have<\/em> to share that latte art, skip adding location. Geotagging photos not only shares where you are with your followers \u2013 but also with cybercriminals who may be tracking your moves.<\/li>\n<li><u>Out of Site, Out of Mind:<\/u> A comprehensive security software does the work for you! <a href=\"https:\/\/www.mcafeemobilesecurity.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">McAfee\u00ae Mobile Security<\/a>, for both\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/app.appsflyer.com\/com.wsandroid.suite?pid=Blog&amp;c=Global\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Android<\/a>\u00a0and\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/app.appsflyer.com\/id724596345?pid=Blog&amp;c=Global\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">iOS<\/a>, offers a variety of protections, including privacy advice to help you better understand how your mobile device is accessing your personal information.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Still craving more mobile security tips?
