pidge Posted February 19, 2013 Report Share Posted February 19, 2013 Ive got a question hopefully some of you can awnswer. When I upload a pic from a iphone is there a way someone can see where that pic was taken from? When I go into "places" (in the album app) and touch the red dot thats on the map are those pictures for that particular red dot able to be dug out from the interwebs and pinpointed upon? I cant explain it any better so I hope someone knows what Im talking about. Any help? For example I'll post this pic from my fathers trailer from this past summer. Is there a way to know where this was taken from some kinda gps or phone software? Heres an example. Can this pic somehow be located because i took it with an iphone?

DRIFTER_016 Posted February 19, 2013 Report Share Posted February 19, 2013 If you haven't disabled the GPS/geotagging info then yes people can tell where the image was taken. Info on how to disable this feature. http://osxdaily.com/2010/07/09/disable-iphone-gps-geographic-tagging-data-in-iphone-photos/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BillM Posted February 19, 2013 Report Share Posted February 19, 2013 (edited) Yes, GPS data can be contained within EXIF data that's attached to your pic.. As long as your GPS is disabled when taking the pic, none of that information will be embedded.... Also if you upload your pic to say Photobucket before posting it here, all the EXIF data is stripped. The pic you posted does not contain any of this data.

Handlebarz Posted February 19, 2013 Report Share Posted February 19, 2013 Go into settings then privacy then location settings and make sure your camera is turned off this will help you. I also have photobucket turned off. I keep location service turned on for other things. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
