Nextdoor: Here's How to Hide Your Full Address

Stop neighbors from seeing the whole thing

Nextdoor is a social network for neighborhoods, and it asks people to use their real names and addresses on their profiles. While the application will show your neighbors your full address by default, did you know that you can change this to only show your street name instead? Our guide will show you how this works.

Note: These screenshots were captured in the Nextdoor app on iOS.

Step 1: Tap the three horizontal lines in the bottom-right corner of the screen.

Step 2: Scroll down and tap “Settings.”

Step 3: Tap “Privacy.”

Step 4: Under “Show My Address As:”, tap the option containing only the street name.
