Your Photos Know Where You Live

Many phone photos carry hidden GPS coordinates

You post a photo of your new sofa. Nothing in the picture shows your street. So how could a stranger find your door?

You'll find out

  • What your photos quietly carry
  • How close a photo gets to your door
  • The switch that keeps your spot private

Why it matters

You share photos every day. Knowing what's hidden inside keeps your home, and your routine, to yourself.
