A recent TikTok video went viral for showing parents how they can keep tags on their kids by downloading and looking at the data of the photo, which includes the time and where the photo was taken.

Following this bombshell, am ex-detective chimed in, reminding people that this could also be happening when you send your photos to ANYONE – that includes people you’re chatting with on dating sites.

“If you’re online dating and you send photos to a stranger, you just sent them where you were. So if you were standing on your porch when you took the photo, that could be an issue,” @purepower34 explained.

However, if you still wish to share images with people you meet on dating apps, @purepower34 advised viewers to instead share screenshots of their original photos to avoid leaking their location and device information.

“A screenshot doesn’t have that information,” @purepower34 said. “Take a screenshot of the photo. Send the screenshot.”

Great tips to keep you SAFE when online dating!
