What’s up with that?
Here’s the situation.
This is an annoying reality that doesn’t seem to make any sense.
Where is Google getting this information from if you’ve disabled the locationd data in the camera?
You caneasily check the EXIF data of a photo on any platform.
We can look toGoogle Lens as a perfect exampleof the company’s recognition tools.
Google uses a similar technique to add “Estimated Locations” to photos.
The other part of the equation is your Location History.
If you have this feature enabled, Google pretty much always knows where you are.
Thankfully, using Location History on photos was an opt-in feature that Google did away with last year.
The “Estimated Location” feature that uses visible landmarks to pinpoint your location is most likely the culprit.
The good news is you could turn it off.
Google clearly knows a lot about everyone, and location is one of the scarier things to think about.
