Do you know the shooting position of the photo even when GPS is off?
It is now common sense to be able to find out when and where the smartphone photos were taken.This is because smartphones communicate with GPS (satellite positioning system) and mobile base stations to derive accurate latitude and longitude and record at the same time.If you know the shooting location, you will have the advantage of increasing the reality of looking back on travel and events.
On the other hand, if you easily fall into a photo with location information, you may be identified a private place.In fact, it is not unusual for a stranger to identify his home address when posting a photo on a blog.
In order to prevent this problem, disable GPS or remove location information after shooting when taking pictures that may be seen by others, or automatically uploaded photos like Instagram or Facebook.Use the application/service to delete location information.
In the case of an Android device, turn off the "location information" on the "Settings" → "Lock screen and security" screen, or disable the location information saving by the option of the camera application (the setting method varies depending on the terminal).Then, the location information will not be attached to the photos to be taken.If you want to remove location information from the photo after shooting, you may want to search for a dedicated app on Google Play.
However, even if you pay attention to GPS, you may be able to determine the shooting point later.For example, "Google Photos" has a function to estimate the location of the shooting location from photos without location information based on information such as Google Location History, and call the "Google Lens" function.・ There is also a function to check the landmark.There is also a story like a spy movie that determines the location from things that are reflected in the eyes without relying on functions/apps, so be careful of photos that you do not want others to know about the shooting position.
