Removing Old Photos With Embedded Location Data on Facebook
Audit older public photos for embedded location data and remove or reprocess the ones that carry it. On Facebook, where the dominant catfish pattern is thin, recently-created profiles with few mutual connections used as identity cover, this applies directly: Photos posted years ago, before you thought about this, may still carry metadata revealing where they were taken.
Steps
- 01
Check photo properties on older public posts for embedded GPS data.
- 02
Re-save or re-upload photos through a process that strips metadata where the original can't be edited.
- 03
Prioritize photos taken at your home or workplace first.
