Security Warning: Using a mobile phone to take pictures of kids activities/work
Did you know when you take a picture on your mobile phone it may add your current location to the Exif data of the image?So if you are out on a school trip and have GPS or location enabled on your device then you upload an image to an e-portfolio or blog anyone will be able to see the latitude and longitude of where you took the picture.
I discovered this when working on Classdroid and Kudos to Hak5 for the useful link. Safe to say all images uploaded from Classdroid will set the location as: “The moon”.
This is especially a concern if you out doing school trips and updating your blog on the fly.
How to turn off location tagging. On Android, Click Settings then Locations then un-tick My Location.
