First is one taken with location on. Second is a screenshot of that picture.

As has been mentioned, you can simply screenshot the image to remove the metadata. This however leads to a significant degradation in picture quality.
Alternatively, in a post production environment (like Lightroom for example) you can easily remove metadata...or even modify it.
Not that anyone would do such a thing. ;) :chuckle:

Removing metadata is a simple process and doesn't require 3rd party software like Lightroom.
In Windows Explorer right-click on the image, select Properties, click the Details tab, and click "Remove Properties and Personal Information." You can choose to remove all properties, or select ones.

True...except that in your example you are, in fact, using external third party software. ;)
Point being that you've got to get it off the iPhone into some other program. Some people use Lightroom. Some use MS Photos. Etc.

If someone has a Windows PC, Windows Explorer is included and doesn't require additional cost. Windows Explorer can access images on an iPhone or Android device.
