How to remove location from iPhone photos

A photo can include GPS coordinates for where it was captured. Removing that location before sharing reduces accidental exposure of a home, workplace or private place.

Check before you share

Open the photo’s information view in Photos to see whether a map or location is attached. For a repeatable batch workflow, Clear inspects only the photos you select and reports how many contain location data.

Create a separate private copy

Clear removes supported location and EXIF fields while creating a new copy. The original remains unchanged, so you keep your personal library intact.

When this is useful

• Photos taken at home or work
• Children’s photos
• Marketplace listings
• Travel photos shared publicly
