How to remove location and other EXIF data from photos on Android, Windows, macOS, and iPhone

Exchangeable Image Format (EXIF) is metadata embedded in every image captured by digital cameras and smartphones. This information includes camera settings like shutter speed, ISO, aperture, and, in many cases, the location where the photo was taken. While this data can be useful for photographers, it can also pose privacy risks, such as revealing your home address when sharing photos online.
Social media platforms like Facebook and Instagram automatically strip EXIF data when images are uploaded.
