geotagging in photos.
Geotagging is adding geographical information to photos or other media. With some devices, geotagging is automatically turned on. If you wish to remove all location information from a phone or tablet, you can do so in the settings.
On an iPhone or iPad, this can be turned off by going to settings/privacy/location services/camera/then tap on never. On most Android phones, you can just open camera app and tap on settings. From the settings, scroll down until you see the option “Geo tags” (or similar option) and disable it. If you are having trouble turning off location services for your camera on your phone, send me a message on remind with your phone model and I can help you turn off this feature.
