I was once travelling and someone I did not know started stalking me via instagram. He threatened to attack me. He somehow knew details about which places I visited, which restaurants I went to. He said he is watching me. I had no clue what was going on.
I suspected my partners ex and monitored his whats-app online time with an app. It was 100% clear it was him, he got up, checked whats app and started stalking me a few seconds later, every day. When I confronted him with his phone number he stopped.
He knew about my locations, because my OsmAnd was logged into osm with the same username that I used on instagram. I regulary updated informations and added POIs. It took some days until I found out. It was fucking scarry.

If you care about your privacy then you shouldn’t be using instagram and what’s app in the first place.

I always recommend uploading POIs with some delay
