The Solution:
To avoid this risk, one can disable the Geotagging feature on their smartphone and digital cameras. From reference section below, you can learn how to do it in various smartphone devices. Instead, you can use Exif metadata editor to change/remove the location information associated with your pictures. Also, you can save your pictures in a format that does not support Exif metadata. But unlike what is warned, some social media sites like Facebook and Twitter in fact automatically delete the location data from the uploaded pictures. Google+ and Instagram do not delete this location information automatically, but provide an option of hiding it.
