- mumblemumble 7y agoI'm guessing most of these sorts of photos are posted directly from a smartphone, though, these days. So fancy unix commands or browser extensions would help protect statistically zero people. Apple, though, with privacy ostensibly being their thing, would be pretty on-brand to set up an iOS capability for getting to see the original image files, with all apps you don't explicitly authorize instead getting to see degraded-resolution images with the exif data scrubbed. Android could do it, too, but it seems less likely to happen since all that extra information is valuable marketing and tracking signal.
- lonelappde 7y agoSurely this should be a camera feature or image editing plugin (which Android already supports today). The swipe against Android is absurd, since Google could easily slurp that information before letting you edit it (as the do with your browsing activity) to prevent others from accessing that information, if they wanted to (which they don't).
- matt-attack 7y agoI don’t want that feature in my camera since the geo data is phenomenal for organizing and search. I want the metadata in my copy just not in the copy I upload.
- saagarjha 7y agoI think it would be great if iOS stripped this out when you shared an image. Edit: I had a vague memory of this being in iOS 13, so I looked for it and there’s an option to strip location data when you share an image now.
- matt-attack 7y agoWhere is that in settings?
- saagarjha 7y agoIt's not in settings, it's an option that appears when you try to share an image.
