It's not as I found out in the beginning only farcebook does that, about the only good thing they do.

A cheat way is to disable location recording on your phone when the camera is in use - although it does pay to check with each photo as updates etc can reset your settings.

I got caught a couple of years ago with a photo I posted on the forum. Pocking around, I found the meta data, clicked on it, google maps opened up to my address, another click or so and there was a view of my house. Holy shit.

Back then I had to install an app to edit out any meta data if I had inadvertantly any location data in my photos. (There are times when you want that data.)
On my last few Samsung phones I just open the picture, swipe up, and all the data is there on the rhs including camera type and settings. The location data can be easily deleted there.

this vid shows how to.

I just screenshot photos before uploading them. Does this remove all location data?

Looks like it. Below is the info stored with a screen shot

This is the info attached to a photo (IF GPS LOCATION TURNED ON IN CAMERA)

Taking a screenshot removed location data on a secret location photo for me.

But I'm no techno.

My Oppo phone doesn't do that but I usually upload from my laptop so remove the data under Windows instead.

I bet @Thar is going to go back to taking photos using 35mm film after this thread!!!

And black and white to boot.

I still do. And I develop them in my bathroom.

You just like sniffing the chemicals.

Don't focus on immutable characteristics.

A bit of inclusivity for our multicoloured participants, if you please.....
