Removing location data from Apple Photos photos before Sharing (Facebook, email, etc.)

What ways(s) (using iOS, iPadOS, and/or macOS) if any, is/are there to automatically by default remove Apple Photos photo location data before sharing on social media, emailing, etc. ?

Hello oneforbiz,


We understand that you have some questions related to location data on your photos. While there is not an automated way to remove existing data, you can disable location services for the camera so that information is not saved in the data of the image. Details can be found here:
