Show image location, iPhones

iPhones.  Many of us have them.  More of us would love to have them.  But maybe they aren't as great as we think.  One feature on the iPhone I definitely would prefer not to have is "Show Image Location."  Are you following?

Alright, say you are taking a picture.  Before you taking the picture a screen pops up asking if you would like to use your current location?  

Now I have never clicked "OK" before and accidently last night I did.  Not thinking anything of it, I was shocked to learn this morning that instead of the picture I had intended to post online, there was a pinpoint on a map that literally showed where I live.  That is scary on many levels.  The picture looked something like the following:

How you can turn off this feature so you don't have to worry about such an incident happening to you is to go to the main Menu. Select:
  • Setting
  • General
  • Location Service
  • Switched the tab off
Viola!
