Greetings!
May I ask your kind help in finding an iOS setting to make Photos sharing images/videos without adding location information by default?
Currently, it is very frustrating to manually go to Options and turn off Location for each photo set before sharing.
Thank you.
iPhone 16 Pro Max, iOS 18
If you want Apple to change this, it would be better to send this feature request directly to apple using the feedback form. The developer team may not see your post here in our user-to-user forum.
The feedback form is here: Photos for iOS - Feedback - Apple
It is only recently, that we can share photos in the Shared albums with the location attached. In the earlier system versions most metadata have been stripped automatically and it has been impossible to share our photos with the locations or the capture date. This made the shared albums pretty useless, when we wanted to share the metadata as well, after investing a lot of work into tagging the photos.
Got it.
However, the original question was not about taking photos without location, but about sharing photos without location.
you can switch if off BEFORE you take a photo
To disable location tagging for photos on an iPhone, navigate to Settings > Privacy & Security > Location Services > Camera and select "Never".
Clear enough.
I followed your suggestion.
