Protect Your Privacy: Remove Location Data from iPhone Photos with iOS 18.2

Protect Your Privacy: Remove Location Data from iPhone Photos with iOS 18.2 In today's digital age, privacy has become a paramount concern for many, especially when sharing photos online. Your iPhone, by default, attaches location data to every picture taken. While this feature can be handy for sorting your images, it poses a potential privacy risk when sharing those images publicly. Fortunately, with the release of iOS 18.2, Apple offers a robust solution to help you safeguard your privacy by allowing you to easily strip out location data from photos. Here’s how you can do it! Steps to Remove Location Data Firstly, ensure you have iOS 18.2, currently available in public beta. To try it out, join Apple's beta program and navigate to Settings > Software Update > Beta Updates to install the iOS 18 Public Beta. Keep in mind that beta versions can have stability issues, so proceed with caution. Once installed, follow these steps: - Open Settings on your iPhone. - Select Privacy & Security > Photos. - Choose an app that has photo access, such as a social media or messaging app. - Under Private Access, tap Options. - Disable the Location and Captions options. This ensures that location data and captions are removed when you share images through these apps. - Select a Format for shared media: - Most Compatible (JPEG for photos, H.264 for videos) - or Current, which retains the original format. - Repeat the process for other frequently used apps to ensure comprehensive privacy. Additional Privacy Measures Notably, some apps may not fully support this feature yet, but updates are expected. For a complete solution, go to Settings > Privacy & Security > Location Services > Camera, and select Never to prevent your iPhone from saving location data altogether. By enabling these settings, you gain control over the metadata shared with your photos, significantly enhancing your privacy. This new feature is part of Apple's ongoing commitment to user privacy, providing you with greater peace of mind. Read the full article

Share Item Location AirTag & Find My Network in iOS 18.2

Share Item Location AirTag

In beta with iOS 18.2, users can share a secure link to an AirTag or Find My network accessory’s location with others and airlines.

A new iOS feature called Share Item Location was unveiled by Apple. It allows customers to simply and securely share the location of an AirTag or Find My network accessory with third parties, including airlines, to help them find and retrieve missing items.

In most parts of the world, Share Item Location is currently accessible as part of the public beta of iOS 18.2, which will soon be made available to all users as a free software upgrade for iPhone Xs and later. Safety and privacy are at the heart of Find My. Once a user is reunited with their item, the shared location will be disabled. The owner can stop it at any time, and it will automatically expire after seven days.

According to Eddy Cue, senior vice president of services at Apple, “Find My is a crucial tool for users worldwide to track and find their belongings.” Users have found that the Find My network and AirTag work well together when traveling, giving them crucial location data in the event that their luggage are misplaced or handled improperly. We’re thrilled to offer consumers a new, private method of freely sharing this data with outside parties, such as airlines, using Share Item Location Find My.

Using the Find My app on their iPhone, iPad, or Mac, users can create a Share Item Location. When a link is sent, the recipient can access a website that displays the item’s position on an interactive map. The website will display the timestamp of the most recent update and automatically update whenever a new location becomes available.

Aer Lingus, Air Canada, Air New Zealand, Austrian, British, Brussels, Delta, Eurowings, Iberia, KLM Dutch Airlines, Lufthansa, Qantas, Singapore, Swiss,, Turkish Airlines, United, Virgin Atlantic, and Vueling are among the more than 15 airlines that will make Find My item locations a part of their customer service procedure in the upcoming months. These airlines serve millions of passengers worldwide. With time, more airlines will be included.

Taking use of the hundreds of millions of Apple devices that many airlines currently use, Apple has worked closely with partner airlines to set up systems to covertly and securely accept Share Item Location. Each link will only be accessible to a select few, and recipients will need to verify using their partner email address or Apple Account to view the link.

“To integrate Share Item Location into its baggage recovery process, they have collaborated closely with Apple and are eager to make this feature accessible to customers shortly, “United CCO David Kinzelman said.

Since many customers already have AirTag in their checked bags, Apple is aware that this feature will soon make it simpler for them to securely and safely share location data with us, which will improve customer service agent productivity and provide its customers with additional peace of mind. Apple wants to launch the service systemwide in early 2025 after first accepting Find My Item locations in a few airports.

Share Item Location will also be integrated into WorldTracer, the baggage-tracing system utilized by more than 500 airlines and ground handlers at more than 2,800 airports worldwide, by SITA, a pioneer in air transport technology.

“As the top supplier of end-to-end baggage management solutions, apple confront significant difficulties as airports and airlines throughout the world prepare to double their passenger volume by 2040.

The Find My network a crowdsourced network of more than one billion Apple devices is the foundation of Share Item Location. It uses Bluetooth wireless technology to identify nearby missing gadgets or things and let the owner know where they are roughly located. No one else can see a device’s location or data because the entire process is anonymous and end-to-end encrypted, including Apple and Find My Network accessory manufacturers.

AirTags Price

When bought straight from Apple, AirTags cost $29 each unit or $99 per four-pack. Prices are often discounted, especially during sales. Amazon recently sold a four-pack of AirTags for $70, a $30 discount. Walmart and other retailers often offer AirTags in seasonal specials, lowering the price of a four-pack to $70 during sales.

iOS 18.2 Feature Removes Sketch Style From Image Playground

The iOS 18.2 beta, the second wave of Apple Intelligence, was just released by Apple. For a limited number of users, the version is a duplicate of the stable version, allowing them to test and experience all of the new features. ChatGPT integration in Siri is one of the new Apple Intelligence features that iOS 18.2 will provide. Aside from this, the upgrade will include new image editing capabilities driven by AI.

Image Playground is a much anticipated tool. Apple unveiled the function, which will produce visuals in three styles animation, illustration, and sketch as a major addition at WWDC 2024. However, it appears that Apple is currently regressing. The sketch style is absent from the latest iOS 18.2 beta release.

Only animation and illustration styles are available in the Image Playground app in the most recent iOS 18.2, iPadOS 18.2, and macOS Sequoia 15.2 betas, raising concerns about the possibility of adding the sketch style in the future. But Apple has removed all reference to Sketch from the app’s description. A third choice, Sketch, was previously promoted in the description as a very scholarly and meticulous approach that produces stunning drawings on plain backgrounds.

Apple has not explained why Image Playground no longer offers the sketch option or whether more styles, including sketch, will be added in the future.

What is Image Playground? 

A brand-new program called Image Playground was made to assist you in turning your ideas into visuals. Similar to ChatGPT, you can use a prompt to generate photographs, and to help you get started, there are suggested categories including themes, locations, and costumes. Because the app concentrates on stylized material, the photos may be created in the forms of animation, illustration, or sketch and won’t be realistic. Additionally, you can add the likenesses of friends and family by choosing pictures straight from your Photos app. Although Image Playground is a stand-alone program, it can also be included in third-party apps and connected with programs like Notes and Messages.

iOS 18.2 Beta Release Date

It has been confirmed that iOS 18.2 would launch within the first week of December. The qualifying phones, which include the iPhone 15 Pro models and the iPhone 16 series, will be the first to receive the features. A number of intriguing additions are promised by the iOS 18.2 update, which is intended to improve iPhone users’ productivity and personalization. One noteworthy innovation is ChatGPT, which is integrated into iOS and provides on-demand AI support.

iOS 18.2 beta Features

This function, which is smoothly integrated across many apps, enables users to generate content, ask questions, and receive prompt assistance. Another special feature is Genmoji, which allows users to make their own AI-powered emojis. This gives users a fun method to express themselves with icons that are more distinctive and personalized than the typical emoji selection.

This upgrade increases Apple’s AI capabilities with several new features. New features include “Image Playground,” which produces graphics from text prompts in different styles. Siri’s integration with ChatGPT makes it more conversational. An improved Mail app, “Default Apps” setting, and English regional support are also included.

How to access it?

The new image tools have a longer waitlist procedure than the original iOS 18.1 AI features, which had comparatively low wait times.

Users can use the emoji keyboard’s Genmoji feature, install the iOS 18.2 beta, or launch the Image Playground app to gain access. You will be put on a waitlist after submitting your request, and this time, there may be a weeks-long delay.

But why wait? During this beta stage, Apple is exercising caution to make sure the tools work as intended, live up to expectations, and guard against abuse. Numerous AI technologies, particularly those that produce visuals, have already been abused in dangerous ways. Users have produced offensive AI-generated content, including deceptive deepfakes and improper renditions of popular content. Therefore, from Apple’s perspective, the prudence is a commendable action that will contribute to the creation of a safe environment.
