If revealing your location is a concern, you can easily turn this feature off. Here’s how to keep your camera from tracking your location on iPhone.

How to Keep Your Camera From Tracking Your Location on iPhone
-
Open the Settings app.
-
Tap Privacy.
-
Select Location Services.
-
Here, you have the ability to turn off all location services at once by toggling off Location Services. But you don’t want to do that if you use Location Services in other apps such as Maps.
-

-
Then select Never to have them never track your location.
