    Default Photos taken with phones and tablets

    This is just a general message to anyone who uses their phone or tablet to take pictures and post them around the web,

    TURN OFF GEOTAGGING!

    unless you want people to know exactly where you took that picture.


    How to turn Photo geotagging on or off on your iPhone/iPad

    • Step #1. Go to Settings app → Tap on Privacy.
    • Step #2. Select Location Services.
    • Step #3. Tap on Camera.
    • Step #4. Tap on never.



    Android
    Open camera app and tap on Settings.
    From the Settings, scroll down until you see the option “Geo tags” (or similar option) and disable it.

    On my phone it's called 'Location Tags'

    Read the last part about the dangers of Geotagging. Also Google John McAfee and Geotagging.

    人生は恐れなければ、とても素晴らしいものなんだよ。
    人生に必要なもの。それは勇気と想像力、そして少しのお金だ。
