Why is location information removed when sharing pictures on Fold6 and Flip6?

If the 'Maximum restrictions' feature in Auto Blocker is enabled, it activates the 'Remove location from shared images' option in the Messages app. This automatically removes location data from pictures before they are sent, ensuring recipients cannot determine where the picture was taken.

To prevent this:

  1. Turn off 'Maximum restrictions' in the Auto Blocker menu.
  2. Disable the 'Remove location from shared images' option in the Messages app settings.
  • Settings > Security and privacy > Auto Blocker > Turn off Maximum restrictions

Messages app:

  • More options (⁝) > Settings > More settings > Turn off 'Remove location from shared images.

Note:

  • Some of specific option or availability may vary by model code, region or country, carrier and SW version
