This touches a semi-related nerve. When you share a photo on iOS there’s an option to remove exif data—or at least the photo’s location—but there’s no way to always have it removed by default. Really annoying and easy to forget. /rant

I think the default is to remove everything. I like to archive nice photos and because of that always have to ask family members to resend the image with metadata enabled.

I’ll have to investigate that somehow, whenever I open the share panel the location option is enabled.

I think that you can at least choose for photos you take to not have location data at all in camera settings.

I found out because the feature of mapping of where your pictures where your pictures were taken did not work for me, because I stopped the camera from having location data.

Sure but I like that feature for myself, but not for apps that snoop your photos’ location data for illegitimate reasons, WhatsApp for example.

oh ya rookie move - stripped that and wiped my CF cache
