Plain answers about the data hidden in photos: what it is, who can see it and how to share a photo without it.

• How to remove the location from a photo

  Most phones save where a photo was taken inside the file. How to check for it, stop it and remove it before you share.

• Selling online? What your photos can give away

  Photos taken at home can carry your address. What to check before you post a listing or send pictures to a buyer.

• What your phone saves inside every photo

  Location, phone model, time and sometimes a hidden video clip. What iPhone, Pixel and Samsung photos carry, and how to share them without it.

• What are Content Credentials (C2PA)?

  A signed record inside an image of how it was made and edited. What it contains, who adds it and what it can reveal about you.

• Why Facebook and Instagram show “AI info” on your photo

  Meta labels photos whose files say AI was used, even for a small retouch. Why the label appears, and what you can and can’t do about it.

• What the CR icon on LinkedIn images means
