Sharing photographs

[thehedge]

Hello there,
Do you share photographs with family and friends via the internet. I'm thinking emails and whats ap.
Thanks thehedge

I set up a tumblr account with a password on it so only people I wanted to access it (I've now managed to lock myself out of it though - a bit too secure!!)

Whatsapp and email yes, facebook, instagram no.

I used an app called Lifecake during introductions and first few months. You can add whoever you want - family and friends - and you can also add little post it note stories.

Email - yes. And I have occasionally privately sent to family on facebook. But never publicly and I also never use her name on any social media.

I don't post images on Facebook or Instagram, and like others I have also not posted my DD's name. I do however send pics via email and waps app. I did want to say that although family/friends know not to post pics, it hasn't stopped some slipping through. This has been down to family/friends not really thinking about it. We do have a security concern, but we have chosen to pick our battles here; if it is a full frontal up close image, then I ask that it is deleted. If it's of her profile, long distance etc I tend to leave it. It is hard and I am sure it will get more difficult the older our daughter gets.

Yes we share on Facebook and whatsapp. We both have tight security settings and have blocked birth mum etc.

We email, but don't post photos on FB or anywhere really. So far family have been good at complying. I only refer to DD by initial and haven't mentioned her age, birthday or when she came home online.

It's hard, but once it's out there, you can't take it back.

I text photos to my mum and sister and I have put 2 'facing away from me' pics on FB. I've never put her name anywhere, I only refer to her by her initial or a nickname. I don't use any other social media really so it's not something which causes an issue, so far...

Like excitedmtb I use lifecake and family love it. Think it will be great for DD in the future too, it's her own little timeline. I don't put anything on FB at all but will email, text or whatsapp.

I have a private Facebook group and share photos with a few family members - I think I will probably relax things a little bit as AS gets older, as I don't think we have any major security risk and I always ensure I have the maximum privacy settings

Just looked at fruitcake...thanks for the recommendation!

I meant lifecake... LOL!!
