Hiya, so quickly wondering wether you have enabled this or not. Obviously it’s not great for privacy, but it also seems very nice to have for image cloud solutions, so that images can be sorted based on location. Are there any good solutions for this? I’d like have it enabled, but also afraid of sharing images with sensitive metadata in them.

    Having the location feature enabled is already against privacy in the first place.

      No, it’s not. That’s only if you share them using an online service that didn’t remove the metadata and also don’t strip it out yourself. That’s like saying keeping personal data on your device is against privacy! If that’s the case, just get rid of it at that point…

          To each their own.

          Totally agree. But hamstringing your own devices to potentially protect the data that never leaves your control anyway seems like a disservice to yourself. Again, if you have no data, location, or BT… What’s the point of paying for the device/service?

      Yes, I don’t think some people on this community care as much, when it comes to location sharing with cell phone manufacturer and apks that have access to that data.

      Not fully off grid all the time.
