See and remove the metadata of a photo
Add a photo and see everything it carries: where it was taken, when, with which phone and who is listed as the author. One tap removes the location or all the data before you share the photo.

What photo metadata is
Besides the image, every photo stores a block of data written by the camera: the date and time, the phone model, the shot settings and, when location is on, the exact coordinates of the place. That block is called EXIF.
Some apps add another block, called XMP, with a title, author, keywords and copyright. You cannot see this data in the picture, but it travels with the file everywhere.
What data you can find
| Field | Example |
|---|---|
| Location | -25.336123, -57.509876, with a Google Maps link |
| Date and time | August 24, 2026, 2:21 PM |
| Camera | Apple iPhone 14 Pro Max |
| Settings | 1/120 s, f/1.8, ISO 64 |
| Author and copyright | The name of whoever signed the photo |
| Software | The app that last edited the photo |
When to remove the location
- Before you post photos taken at home on Marketplace or in a group.
- When you show a job done at a client's home on social media.
- With photos of your kids or your family that you share with more people.
- When you send photos as a document on WhatsApp or by email: they arrive with all their data.
With your business photos it works the other way around: there you want the location in. That is what Geotag photos is for.
Frequently asked questions
