Remove location data from your photos before sharing them with your iPhone.
Taking pictures with your iPhone has become quite an innocuous action. However, besides the image itself, the photos captured with an iPhone (and with all smartphones in general) contain a lot of information. Photo metadata, also known under the term EXIF (Exchangeable image file format), makes it possible, for example, to know the name and type of camera, certain shooting parameters such as the focal length, or even the GPS coordinates of the place where the image was captured.
To protect your privacy a little, and to prevent a third party from being able to locate the place where an image you share was taken, it is better to delete this data beforehand. Not many people know it, but since iOS 13, iPhones have offered an option to delete on the fly, the location data embedded in photos before sharing them.
1. Share an image
Open the Photos app and select the photo (s) you want to share. Then press the share button represented by an arrow coming out of a square.
2. Change the options
In the share sheet that appears, tap the Options menu displayed at the top of the screen, under the number of photos selected.
You can then choose to uncheck the Location box in the Include data section and press OK.
You will then only have to select the application with which you want to share these images.
