YMMV
FYI just turn off geotagging in your iphone settings (location services). If not, your GPS metadata includes: altitude, latitude, longitude, and more. If the GPS data is available, the app will let you directly see it in the Maps app. This is a great way to see exactly where the picture was taken.
