  huh. i wonder if my phone is so old that i needed to enable the gps for pictures? or is it only pictures that are uploaded directly from the phone? thanks for sharing that. i found this site that has some more detailed instructions for how to check what kind of information your pictures might contain.

  My husband said it's more of a concern w/ iPhone than Droid, which is what i have. I checked my settings & when I click on GPS it shows the warning that it could be a safety hazard. Either way it's good to check if you have GPS on your phone.

  I went in to settings and turned off the gps on the camera when I bought it because someone warned me. I've tried testing my pictures to see if the location came be clicked and was unable to get locations. Thanks for posting this.

  Thank you OP... Wow! Amazing! With every benefit to technology there is a severe risk as well.
