- Give your new Custom task a name like "Remove GPS"
- Tap the "Insert Step" button
- Change this to new section to "Set image properties" and tap the second dropdown turn on "Remove GPS Properties" and tap "Set".
- Once done tap "Close".
Return to your folder with your photos in:
- Tap "Select" then select all the photos you want to remove their GPS Properties from.
