Here are some tips on how to stay secure on social media:
Strong password
One should always have a strong and tricky password which is easy to remember but difficult to decode. Don’t choose the easy password like date of birth or something but choose something which is uncommon. You can have a combination of numbers and alphabets as a password.
Privacy

Make pictures private
Make sure that the pictures and videos that you post on your social media maintains privacy and it is visible to certain friends only. These two are the most vulnerable as one can easily make a MMS out of it and upload it on the Internet.
Selective of your friend circle
Do not easily accept the friend request sent to you on social media even if it is from your mutual friends or people who are part of their social circle not necessarily their friends. Only accept the request only when you are cent per cent sure of knowing the person.
