If you post holiday photos to social media ...

[holbolllol]

How many are acceptable?

A few per day of the holiday

A single post of a certain number per weekend or week

If you don't share your holiday snaps, why not?

I prefer to see my friends and family holidays snaps of where they have been and what they have done one as a matter of interest and two in case it's somewhere I'd also like to go.

I prefer to see all the snaps in one post with about 10-15 for a weekend and 15-25 for a week.

I don't post anything on social media. I might send photos to family on WhatsApp though, one or two of DC every few days.

Between 3-10 when you return is suffice. Sometimes I've posted one and sometimes none just depends on what I feel like sharing. Been away twice this year and shared none of it

Will suffice? For what? People can post whatever they like.

People are so weirdly snobby about social media (but usually not actually that against it as they have it). The home insurance thing is a cocktail of different things - if your profile isn't locked, you have location services on, you have identifying information on your profile etc etc.

Post whatever you want on your own social media. It isn't unsolicited as people have chosen to follow you.

Those saying they just send on WhatsApp - I find this way more intrusive than social media because there's an expectation that I'll react in some way to your photos specifically being sent to me as opposed to me mindlessly scrolling on social media where I may or may not see them.

I agree @MartinsSpareCalculator
Ive said the only people on my Facebook are actual friends, so they obviously know where I live. Not sure how a random hacker could work out which house to burgle though.

If you post the whole time it looks like you're just living on your phone and not enjoying your holiday! I think a couple of posts per week are fine.

Or if you're worried about security, post them after you get home.

It takes me about 20mins in bed at night to go through the pics, delete the rubbish and do any editing I fancy then post. Not sure how that suggests I’m not enjoying myself…

I don't post with any care of people viewing my photos....I post to keep an online life journal kinda thing for ky own interest. Its another place to have photos other than on my phone and laptop.

I would post holiday photos daily so I didnt have a huge amount in a oner. But I don't stick to a number. It might be 25, 30 or even 70 photos depending whqt I did that day on holiday. I keep them in individual albums so they don't get lost and are quick ajd easy for me to get to years later.....if people don't want to see them then they can scroll past.

One of my friends photo dumps everything to fb.
Today she visited a farm a farm she visits probably 3x a month.
150 photos ( 3x50) of her dcs feeding the same animals as last Saturday where she then also uploaded over 200.

Honestly it's bonkers.

Last year I woke up to my feed being 'sally' has uploaded 76? ( must of been the maximum allowed per upload )photos to album Summer 2023 and ' CHILDS NAME'
There were 28 posts of 76? Photo's..FROM 1 WEEK IN IBIZA

Keeping an online journal is not the same as sharing with all friends. You can make it ‘just you’

The wife of an old friend posts hundreds of their multiple trips to their holiday home and outings. Gushing over it all - the food, the cocktails, the never ending shopping trips . It is too much by a mile. But clearly I am the only social media friend who thinks so judging by the happy clappy reply posts. I am pleased for them that they have bought a holiday home in the place of THEIR dreams. (Although they have grown up DC, no GDC, and why does an ADULT woman need to wear mouse ears?) It puts me off reconnecting with them in real life. They are fairly local to me. I will have to be brave at some point, but just not yet.

I'm thinking about the issue of homes being burgled when your on holiday if you post on SM.
I would think I am more likely to be burgled during my work hours as that is more predictable when I'm definitely away from home and when I'm likely to be back.

I post photos to DB albums. Nobody else needs to look at them, I have certain family and friends that like to see them, and they are somewhere I can easily find them. My FB, my business.

I don't, however post until we are home. I see no reason to live broadcast my whereabouts

If other people want to then that's up to them, but please don't tag me. I don't want the world and his wife knowing if just sat down for a meal an hour from home thanks 😂

I'm on a holiday of a lifetime at the moment and posting about 2 a day to Insta.
I don't post pictures of me or DH to Insta though, so I'm then sharing the odd sporadic candid pic of us to FB.
I certainly don't have any rules around numbers and will post as often as I like!

Oh god the whole ‘checking in’ thing turned me right off FB. Why do I need to know you’ve just arrived at a pub?

I don’t know anyone who still actively uses Facebook. Last time I uploaded any photos there was during lockdown but since then it definitely has fallen out of favour with my friends and family

Personally I go old school and get my favourite holiday photos printed into one of those photo books when I’m home. Then if people are interested they can look through that the next time they are at mine or I can take it to them (which I tend to do with my parents)

Very few people I know post on social media these days. My feed (Instagram and Twitter) is mostly public people rather than personal friends. Any personal to and fro tends to be over WhatsApp

And I am another one who knows of a close friend who was burgled while they were away, had a private Instagram and so did their partner but he did a “beer in the airport” post and that was enough for the claim to be refused. They were surprised as they thought with it being private it wouldn’t be seen but they must have their ways

I post a few when I get home in an “Enjoyed our holiday” type post, and then the odd one while we are there.

If some randomer decided to break into our house because they'd seen our holiday photos on Facebook (which they wouldn't because only friends can see them) then they'd have a shock when they encountered 6ft 4 adult DS who still lives here and also WFH but doesn't come on holiday with us.

We post a couple of pictures every day on Facebook of whatever nice thing we've done, be that an interesting place or a good meal.

All that stuff about insurance policies is a load of wank.

Do you sneak out of your house with your cases in the dark too? What about when your car isn't on the drive for two weeks - does that invalidate your insurance too?

I tend to post around 10 a day at the end of the day once kids are in bed. I find my social media is more for me to look back through and just a bonus for friends/family to see what we're up to.

Ugggh I hate holiday pics. Unless there’s a good story about the pic then I really don’t care to see more than a couple.

There’s nothing more boring than looking at Facebook holiday photos! I have a friend on Facebook who posts every single photo on Facebook including all the boring badly shot scenic photos, and even the ones with her eyes closed. I’d look at a couple then click off. I sometimes post a story with a photo of the destination I’m at but that’s about it. I think it’s a bit of an old chestnut when people say they post because they want family to see the photos…most people nowadays use WhatsApp for that.

Which is why Facebook is a good place e for them. People like you can scroll by. People like me can look. If the person brought their photos round to your house as in the past you would be stuck.

I don't usually. Not everything has to be shared online. I might post 1 photo when I get back home. I never post while away - I'd rather enjoy the moments.

I post them all. It's not really for others to see ots my online photo album
