A good idea when sharing online

If you take photos with any of the modern devices out there, chances are the device adds additional information to the photos when you take and save them.

This additional information, called EXIF data, typically includes the camera model, the date the photo was taken, your geolocation data, and so on. Some apps on your devices use this additional information to help you organize your photos.

While there's no harm in keeping the EXIF data in your photos as long as the photos are stored on your personal devices, there may be times when you want to remove the data, such as when you share the photos on the web.
