can someone tell me how to understand the codes that come with cell phone pictures. I always thought one set was date/time? Here is an example:
18056836_10154959675391858_2691316434841852196_n.jpg
I thought that there was some sort of rhyme or reason to the numbers.

tech ping?
You have a smartphone?
They’re basically handheld computers.
the phone code is 123951.jpg which is different...
No but I received this pic both on my phone which had the small number jpg attached to it and attached to my email with the really long number attached to it. one a jpg and the other an n.jpg?
My work phone sometime gives the physical the address of those I took while working.
Call the NSA. They’ll help ya.
Just a crazy guess... Maybe some sort of encoded GPS location or cell tower triangulation code?
Would part be the date 18= year 05=month and so on?
The rest could be location in some form, lat and long or grid coordinate.
I believe you can get more information on the picture by looking at the pictures properties. Right click it and click properties.
But I bet there is information in some geek forums out there about it.
“EXIF data” is something I found in the past, you can try and search that.
It says, “Something ... something ... Ovaltine.”
For many years in the USSR every typewriter was registered with the authorities and each had a unique combination of typeface identifiers.
If you typed a threatening note and mailed it in they immediately knew which typewriter had been used.
I’d wager it’s the same thing, but here, with our pristine and completely trustworthy FBI.
It is Facebook name format. Someone sent you a picture that they saved from facebook and the phone just kept the name.
As for the GPS coordinates in photos - you can set your phone to not include them. Google “turn off exif data [yourphonemodel]” to get instuctions.
not much in properties just the number. Is there some sort of translator out there?
It means it hates you
Thank you, I kept on getting Facebook hits. Which didn’t make sense. Is there a special format that facebook uses for date and time?
really? Is that true about the Soviets? Wow if so!
It means it hates you

Facebook changed it some years ago so nothing can be deciphered from it any more. It used to be possible to get the profile handle of the user whose profile it was saved from, but that created privacy concerns and it was fixed.
ok I was just looking for date and time. odd
thanks everyone!
Yep, it’s true.
Maybe still is..?
That part I don’t know.
