Did you know someone can find your exact location by just looking at a photo or video? Both Android and iPhone automatically embed location information and images. You can go check this out yourself. On an iPhone, swipe up on a picture and you can see the location. On an Android, go to the photo, tap the three dots on the upper right and select Details from the pop up. Do you see it? The good news is you can turn this off before we continue. Be sure to save this for later. On an iPhone, go to Settings, then go down to Privacy and Security, go to Location Services and turn it off completely. And for Android, you're going to have to do this individually for each photo. So when you want to send or post a photo, go to that photo, tap the Share button, click the Options button at the top, and then click Remove Location and Remove Other Properties. Go turn this off right now. And if you want more simple tips to keep your privacy safe, hit that Follow button.
