Every camera phone save your location at the time the picture was taken

‎#Interesting Tip : Pictures you take with Your phone contains EXIF which includes your geographical location at the time the picture was taken.

EXIF is shortened from Exchangeable image file format and it's something what most of people aren't aware of. If you're taking a picture then the camera is saving inside of it some information and the most dangerous thing what can be there is your exact geological location. This might seem like a new feature in smartphones, but it isn't. EXIF is included in almost all cameras what are still working in these days. With EXIF it's possible to see the exact Day/Month/Year & second when the picture was taken. Some people who have heard of EXIF have said that they don't belive that this kind of thing exists, but it's incredibly easy to prove that this exists because there are many EXIF viewers online like

 however it's possible to change the EXIF manually also to change the location & time when the picture was taken. 

As this might seem unbelievable I'll provide here an real life example. Probably some of you still remember head-lines by saying "Anonymous hacker got arrested because of his girls boobs". The title seems even a bit ridiculous, but still catching. The hacker who got caught named himself as AnonW0rm and hacked into at least 4 US law enforcement websites . Tha hacker took the photo with his Iphone, but didn't knew that Iphone is saving your geological location to the image. Also the photo was photoshopped and the original one had the Girlfriends face seen and it wasn't hard to get that. Federal agents had the face of the hackers girlfriend and geological location of the hacker which made it incredibly easy to arrest him.

Mostly when people hear about the EXIF, the first thing they ask is that can I see the EXIF from Facebook pictures also?
Nope because Facebook stripes EXIF off the picture, but still reads them & probably even saves. :)
