Secrets In Your Pictures

Did you know that there is secret information inside your photos that can reveal a lot about you?

There is some revealing information inside your photos that could tell strangers a lot about you – including where you live. It’s called EXIF Data, and while it’s useful to photographers, it could also contain the exact GPS coordinates of where you took the pic.

There is a setting on your smartphone to completely turn off GPS location data on the photos you take, but I don’t recommend that because this information is helpful in organizing your photo collection.

Here are some helpful EXIF tools:
