For these reasons and any others, you can make your social media profiles less discoverable than they would otherwise be. The big networks give you control over who can find you and who can't, so you're less likely to pop up in the "people you may know" feed of your uncle or your neighbor from down the street. Here are some tips for making yourself less findable on Facebook, Instagram, and other social media sites.
General tips for any social media network
Most social networks give you visibility options. Credit: LifehackerSocial networks often suggest connections based on who's in your phone contacts, so if you can avoid giving your phone number, do so (or use an alternative number, if you have one). You'll almost certainly need to supply an email address, but you can enter a secondary one that no one else has, or use one of the many burner email address services that are now available (such as Apple's Hide my Email).
Decline any prompts to find connections and contacts when you sign up, and don't give the app permission to scan your phone's contact lists. If you have to choose a handle, avoid your real name or anything that would identify you. What's more, on most networks, there's nothing to stop you creating a second account, if you want to. If you've already got a "real" account in place, then add an extra one with different personal details that you can use on the down low.
How to stay hidden on Instagram

There's another option to talk about, but it's not in the mobile apps—you have to head to Instagram on the web to find it. Click Profile, then Edit Profile, and you'll find a toggle switch labeled Show account suggestions on profiles. Turn this off, and other accounts won't be recommended from your profile, and you won't be recommended on anyone else's profile either.
How to stay hidden on X (formerly Twitter)

It's also a good idea to head into Direct messages from Privacy and safety, and get everything here set up as you want it. The X platform gives you plenty of control when it comes to who's allowed to message you and call you, and you can shut down these features entirely if needed. It's another precaution that reduces the chance of someone you don't want to speak to getting in touch.
How to stay hidden on Facebook
Facebook lets you choose who can find you on the platform. Credit: LifehackerSettings > How people can find and contact you. There are a whole host of options here, covering what's visible on your profile, who can message you, whether or not you appear in searches, and more.
Beyond that comprehensive page of contact options, you can also take granular control over what's visible on your profile (so people might be able to find you, but won't be able to see your photos or friends). Tap Profile details and Posts from the Settings screen to lock down the information you're sharing, so it isn't visible to anyone who isn't already your friend.
