GPS coordinates aren’t the only location clues in a photo file. It may also contain:
- City names or the name of a venue
- Location data stored in another metadata field
Apple Photos may leave other clues
Turning off location in Apple Photos does not remove all information attached to a photo. Don’t assume place names are gone too. What remains depends on the file format and how you share it.
Turning off location when sharing also leaves the original photo’s location data intact.
Before sending, check the actual file you plan to share for remaining place names or location data.
