Protect your privacy by removing location data from your photos before sharing them. Location data embedded in photos can reveal where the photo was taken, which might expose your personal information.

This guide will show you simple methods to remove location data from photos on your Android device quickly and effectively.

🔍 What is Location Data in Photos?

Location data, also known as geotags, are GPS coordinates stored in the metadata of your photos. This data shows the exact place where the photo was captured.

While useful for organizing photos, it can compromise your privacy if shared publicly.

💡 How to Remove Location Data on Android

  1. Open your Android Photos or Gallery app.
  2. Select the photo you want to edit.
  3. Tap the info or details icon to view metadata.
  4. Look for location information and choose the option to remove or edit it.
  5. Save the changes to update the photo without location data.

🛠️ Using Third-Party Apps to Remove Metadata

If your default gallery app doesn't support removing location data, you can use trusted third-party apps available on the Google Play Store. These apps allow you to strip all metadata, including location, from your photos before sharing.

Always download apps from reputable developers and check permissions before installation.

🔐 Prevent Location Data from Being Added

To stop your Android device from adding location data to new photos, disable location tagging in your camera app settings. This ensures future photos won't contain geotags.
