"And even if you turn off location services for an app, the app may still get this data by examining the metadata from your photos. (I’m not sure if iOS13 fixes this.)"
So is this fixed in iOS13 or not?
- drclau 7y agoI cannot answer your question (yet), but I have a question of my own: do people actually think the location stored in a picture is more important from the privacy perspective than the content of the picture? I mean, people upload pictures of themselves, their family members, their homes, offices, places they visit, to a third party, such as FB. Is really the location stored in EXIF headers the biggest issue here? Think how much can be automatically extracted from content these days. I don’t mean to diminish the importance of the location leak, I just find it odd what our collective priorities seem to be, even among the tech literate.
