Guides

Useful checks before you tap Share.

Face privacy is easier when the workflow is concrete. These guides cover what to hide, which visual treatment to use, what photo metadata can reveal, and what to check beyond faces.

Step-by-step

How to blur a child's face before sharing a photo

Choose the photo, protect only the faces you intend, check the background, and save a separate copy.

Photo metadata

Remove location metadata from iPhone photos

Understand GPS, capture details, platform behavior, and why a newly encoded share copy is useful.

Privacy styles

Blur, mosaic, cover, or emoji?

Compare strength, appearance, and the kinds of family photos each treatment suits.

Review checklist
