What is EXIF?
EXIF (Exchangeable Image File Format) data is like a digital footprint embedded in your photos, typically captured by digital cameras and smartphones. It includes details like when and where the photo was taken, camera settings, and if your location services were on, it can include exact GPS coordinates.
This kind of information could potentially be used to track your movements. It's advisable to remove EXIF data from images before sharing them online if privacy is a concern.
