If so how is that done? I can't imagine that's true or all our secret hunting, fishing and trapping spots would then be revealed. "My life is better than your vacation"

For example you may be able to retrieve the location of the phone when the pic was uploaded. I can view the location that my pics were taken by clickimg on the 3 dots at top right of pic, and then click details. Im not sure a pic's location for one that is posted on here can be accessed by most folks. Thank God For Your Blessings! Never Half-Arse Anything! Resource Protection Service
