Galaxy S21
I was wondering if profile sharing is still a thing on Galaxy phones. I have a need to move away from some people and all of my contact info is in my Samsung Contacts profile. I remember that at one point, if I made changes to this profile, anyone else could see them if theft had me in their contacts.
I want to be able to make changes to my profile (picture, name, addresses, etc) without broadcasting them to everyone. I've only been able to find an option to hide profile pic changes, but nothing else.
Could anyone help me, please?

Galaxy S21@chmckay You can disable this in the Contacts app.
- Open the Contacts app
- Click the 3 line menu
- Click the gear icon
- Click on Profile picture sharing
- Turn this off.

I saw that. Does that affect more than just the profile picture? I absolutely need my address and everything else to not be shared

Galaxy S21@chmckay It shares Name, number, and profile picture. AFAIK that is all it shares. Checking some of my contacts seems to confirm this.

And no way to block any of that?
