The very first thing when I got my very first iPhone back in 2011 was turn of the location tagging on photos. They started putting GPS in higher end DSLRs too. I honestly don’t understand. I can think of maybe two situations where geotagging photos could be useful. Some forums strip metadata from photos entirely when they get posted. RIU should consider that.well the problem was I have an old phone I snap pics with, and I ended up turning location on , on accident
