Yes, unless you’ve disabled it. Most phones embed GPS coordinates into every photo.
What’s in your photos:
- Exact GPS coordinates
- Date and time
- Device model
- Camera settings
The risk:
Post a photo from home = your address is embedded. Share a photo of your kid = their school location is embedded.
Turn it off:
- iPhone: Settings → Privacy → Location Services → Camera → Never
- Android: Camera app → Settings → Disable “Save location”
Before sharing existing photos:
- iPhone: When sharing, tap “Options” → Turn off Location
- Android: Use a metadata removal app
Don’t rely on social media to strip this data — remove it yourself.
