"So, on people’s profile it states how far away they are. Is that accurate? For example, someone who is saying they are abroad & have recently been online shouldn’t be showing as 10-15 miles away? "
I set my postcode miles away from where I live, usually to a city or town I know I’ll be going to. Also turn my location off on occasion |

Depends.
If it shows as mobile it is reasonably accurate, although fake gps can move you to wherever you want.
Otherwise it is whatever you type in as a postcode.
I've just put fakegps as me in Thailand. I'm in Glasgow though. |

If a profile has 'who's near' switched off, it won't be accurate at all.
We've had on a couple of occasions people suggesting we're apparently very close, when in reality we were nearly 300 miles away. |
