Let's All Be Careful Out There

And here's how to do it on an iphone

1. On your iOS device open Settings app. Now head to the ‘Privacy’ section.
2. From the menu tap on the ‘Location Services’ option.
3. On the next page you will see the apps that use your device’s GPS to mark your location and store information about it in one way or the other.
4. From this list look for ‘Camera’ and turn its toggle off or never whichever turns up

Of coarse this will only do the photos from when you disable it
to do the ones already taken you need an app like gps deloger which is free

 

Heh heh don't have anything like that, but thanks for the heads up Col

 

How do you remove a thread you started or remove a pic you put in a post,thanks

 

Cheers mate just checked my phone
It's already on never! But I wouldn't have known

 

It'll let me delete a comment/reply but if I click on delete pic it doesn't do anything

 

If you click edit then more options the options of how to post you're photo comes up i.e. Full image, thumbnail and delete, click delete and the photo will go but leaves the script For your photo in your post, select that type and click the cut button, save changes! That should work.

 

I just found a picture on this site of a bike outside someones house, saved the picture and chucked the co-ordinates into google, using street view I could see their front door.

I'm normally skeptical of posts like this, but it was seriously easy. I've tried some of my own photos that I've uploaded via photobucket, and it seems (for me anyway!) that uploading them that way removes the GPS data.

 

Scary ain't it

 

Android,
1) open camera app
2) press the 3 lines in the left hand corner
3)press the cog symbol for settings
4) turn off "save location"

 

Scary stuff, I always have my location turned off, but just checked to make sure it still was.

Thanks for the heads up @Col_C , we all need to check this, and keep an eye on it, don't want ot help the thieving little scrote in any way

Edit: Just tried to locate someone's bike from on this forum, easy as pie.

 

Hi all
If you know how to locate someone's bike would it be too much to ask if you could Pm them and warn them of the dangers
I hope I'm not one of them but if I am I would appreciate a message so I can see if I can do something about it
Cheers

Nope that didn't work either l

 

I sent a pm to a staff member and they're going to do it for me. I thought that would be less weird coming from a well known member and not an Internet random haha

 

Just had a heads up message from admin re photo/s ive posted.
Being an old git and not very savvy with tech.

My Android phone:

2. Bottom lh corner, select the cog (settings) button;
