Questions and answers

Is the location sent when I share a photo?
It can be. To be sure, turn off Location in the share Options before you send, or remove the location from the photo first.
Does turning off Location Services remove old locations?
No. It only stops new photos from saving a location. Remove it from older photos in Photos or with a converter.
What other details are stored in a photo?
EXIF data can include the phone model, the date and time and camera settings. A tool that strips EXIF removes these too.
