# Default Location Sharing Notes
> Many social apps share location more widely than parents expect. Audit settings, geotags and permissions with your child.

## Guides
- [Photo Geotags and What They Reveal](https://default-location-sharing.pages.dev/photo-geotags-reveal-location/): Photo geotags reveal location by attaching geographical information to an image, potentially identifying where a child took a photograph.
- [Social Maps and Who Can See Them](https://default-location-sharing.pages.dev/social-maps-who-can-see-teens/): Social maps who can see teens depends on the app's audience controls, sharing choices and whether location updates are active.
- [Location Permission Levels: Always, While Using, Never](https://default-location-sharing.pages.dev/location-permission-always-while-using/): Location permission always while using never describes three different levels of access an app may receive to a device's location.
- [Sharing Location With Family vs With Friends](https://default-location-sharing.pages.dev/family-vs-friends-location-sharing/): Family vs friends location sharing should be treated as two separate decisions, with different expectations, access levels and reasons for sharing.
- [Running a Settings Audit Every Few Months](https://default-location-sharing.pages.dev/location-settings-audit-kids/): A location settings audit for kids should be repeated whenever routines, friendships or the apps they use change, rather than being treated as a one-off task.
