How to Remove Location Data from an iPhone Photo
Remove GPS location from an iPhone photo before sharing, delete a saved location, and understand what still remains in the image.
Work safely on the copy you actually plan to share.
- 01
Choose whether to remove or only withhold location
Turning off Location in the Share options affects the shared copy and keeps your own library information. Choosing No Location changes the location associated with the photo in your library.
- 02
Remove location when sharing
In Photos, select one or more images, tap Share, open Options at the top of the sheet, turn off Location, and confirm that “Location Not Included” appears before sending.
- 03
Remove the saved location from Photos
Open the image, tap the More button, choose Adjust Info, then Adjust Location and No Location. Menu wording can vary slightly by iOS version and language.
- 04
Stop future photos from recording GPS
Go to Settings → Privacy & Security → Location Services → Camera and choose Never. This also removes location-based organization features for new camera photos.
Open the Photo GPS Remover
For JPG, PNG, or WebP copies that need broader metadata cleanup.
Confirm these points before uploading.
- Check that no map or location appears in the photo information panel.
- Inspect the exact copy you are about to upload—not only the library original.
- Look for visible clues such as house numbers, signs, landmarks, and reflections.

Precise answers, including the limits.
01Does turning off Location in Share change my original?+
No. It withholds location from the copy being shared. The location can remain in your Photos library.
02Does removing GPS make an iPhone photo anonymous?+
No. Capture time, device details, visible landmarks, platform records, and image matching can still reveal context or origin.
