Disable Photo Geotagging on iPhone- How To

Last Updated: March 23rd, 2017

You must have noticed that the photos which you take from your iPhone can be tagged with location data which is known as Geotagging. This is done through photos’ metadata called EXIF which embeds the location information. With Geotagging you can easily sort your photos by location in which they were taken.

If you want to keep the location of your photos which you have visited as personal, you can turn off or disable geotagging on your iPhone. No need to add location to your photos each and every time you click.
