Inspect the exact file you plan to share for GPS latitude and longitude, then remove metadata and verify the downloaded copy. Visible clues still remain in the pixels.

Location can travel in EXIF
Camera and phone photos may store GPS coordinates with timestamps, camera settings, and orientation. Apps can preserve, rewrite, or remove those fields, so assumptions about the original are not enough.
Inspect, remove, inspect again
Use a metadata viewer on the outbound file, create a clean copy, and recheck that copy when the privacy consequence matters. Keep the untouched original privately if location is useful to your archive.
Pixels can reveal a place too
Street signs, reflections, landmarks, documents, and house numbers remain visible after EXIF removal. Metadata cleaning addresses hidden fields, not the content of the photograph.
