Geo tags - Tapatalk

Admin - Could these be turned off on the forum?

As I cannot seem to find the disable setting within the application, even though location services are off.

Tapatalk users - If you have ever made a post using Tapatalk with location services on then it will show the exact location you at. Which in most cases will be your home address (if you zoom in)

I can't see geotagging in settings, is it within another section?

Tried that already but it didn't work as the tag is a historical one from when I started to use Tapatalk last year


Can this be turned off on the forum side?

LOL. Maybe it's because I'm a mod?

There's no geotag data stored on our server, it is all on the tapatalk network.

I was going to suggest going to settings on the iphone and location services and turning it off in there, but I just did it on my iphone and for some reason tapatalk is the one app that is not listed in there. Bizarre as that would've been the simplest solution
