It’s a useful way to know when a special memory took place. The feature is pretty safe. But not everyone is comfortable with the idea of locations being logged. Particularly for photos taken at home or work.
If you use Google Photos to store your images, the tech giant is now alerting you about something related, called estimated photo locations, The Sun reports. This uses things like visible landmarks to work out where the photo was taken.
As the alert explains, photo locations come from multiple locations, including locations estimated by Google Photos.
Google stopped using Location History to estimate photo locations, but they are continuing to guess using other sources instead when ‘estimate missing locations’ is switched on.
