Check the exact file
Open the copy you plan to send or publish in a GPS metadata checker. If readable coordinates are present, review whether the location is appropriate to share. Screenshots and exported copies may differ from the camera original.
No result does not describe every copy
If one copy has no GPS fields, another original or backup may still contain them. Check each version that leaves your device, especially after editing, cloud downloads, or file-format conversion.
Check location after every export
Inspect the final copy for latitude and longitude before sharing. If you remove metadata or convert the format, download the result and check that file again. Missing GPS does not hide location clues visible in the image, such as an address or recognizable building. Changing camera location permissions affects future capture; it does not automatically remove coordinates already stored in existing photos.
