    The last option is "Event locations" and underneath it says, "Automatically add location to events (uses data connection)"
    .
    So, this automatically adds location to our photos. If we want the option to be selected, which is the default setting, we can leave the white checkmark in the green box.

    If we want to turn it off so that it doesn't add our location to events, then press down on the box until it's empty
    .
