If you're on a dating app and sending photos back and forth, it may not be safe. According to a PSA from TikToker @purepower34, who used to work as a detective, don't just send photos from your iPhone library to strangers you're chatting up.

Why?

A photo taken with your phone contains the time and place where it was taken. Instead, take a screenshot.

Screenshots of the photo do not contain your location and other info and are much safer to share.
