Remove location on TikTok videos

TikTok can attach location information through stickers, captions, and device permissions. Use these steps to keep location data out of your posts.

Step-by-step checklist

Turn off location permissions for TikTok in your phone settings to stop GPS data from being attached to new posts.
Remove any location sticker or caption before posting. These overlays are visible to viewers and stay in the video even if metadata is removed.
Export or save a clean copy of the video after edits, then upload the clean file instead of an older draft.

If you have the original video file and want to strip metadata before uploading, use scrub.media to remove GPS location data locally.
