How to remove location data from your iPhone photos When you snap a photo on your iPhone or iPad, the iOS Camera app automatically uses GPS to record the exact location where the shot was taken. This is an enormous convenience, as it allows you to catalog your many images according to exact location as well as occasion. It's also worth keeping in mind that even though some social media services like Facebook do remove location data before the photos you upload are posted, this just prevents other users from seeing where your photos were taken. Starting with iOS 13, Apple has made it really easy to strip out the location information from photos before you share them, but you'll still need to be diligent as you have to use this option each time you share a photo. Step 1: Open the Photos app, find the photo you want to permanently hide the location info from, and tap to open it. Note that while you can remove location data from multiple photos at once, as we described in the last step, you can't restore it that way — the "Revert" button won't appear when working with more than one photo.
