How do I keep my family photos safe online?
Learn how to share family photos with care.
Check who can see each photo. A private account limits the audience, but others may save or share a copy.
Ask the people in a photo before posting it. Check for an address, private papers, or clues to where you live.
Keep a separate backup of photos you value. Do not rely only on a social media post.
Try this
- Choose a photo.
- Look for private details.
- Ask the people shown if you may share it.
- Check who will see the post.
- Keep a copy and test that it opens.
A message you can copy
Make a short list of things to check before I share a family photo.
Paste the message into ChatGPT, then fill in any blanks before you send it. ChatGPT opens in a new tab. Opening it does not send the message.

You cannot control every copy once a photo is shared.
