Your iPhone saves the exact location where each photo was taken. Share the original file and you may be sharing your home address with it.
Check a photo's location
Open the photo in Photos and swipe up. If there's a map, the location is saved in the file. You can also drop the image into our free photo metadata tool, which runs entirely in your browser.
Remove location from one photo
In Photos, swipe up on the image, tap Adjust next to the location, then No Location.
Remove location when sharing
In the share sheet, tap Options at the top and switch off Location. This only affects that share. The original keeps its location.
Stop saving location from now on
Settings → Privacy & Security → Location Services → Camera → Never.
You lose the "Places" map in Photos, but your photos no longer record where you were.
Other hidden details
Location isn't the only metadata. Files can also include the device model, the exact time, and sometimes editing software details. Our metadata tool shows everything and can export a clean copy.
Veilbox's Vault Camera doesn't save location by default, and exports from Veilbox strip it automatically.
