Click Remove hidden data, then download your clean photos.
Share photos without sharing where you live
Phones save the GPS location in every photo by default, accurate to a few metres. A photo taken at home and sent as a file can show anyone where you live. This page shows whether a photo has a location, with a link to see it on a map, and removes it with the rest of the hidden data.
To stop your phone adding the location, turn off location for the camera in your phone's settings. For photos you've already taken, clean them here before you share them.
