much thanks to @gary_host_laptop for the logo design :)
I always remove this data from my screenshots before sharing, but is there any way to prevent this from happening in the first place? I've searched and searched, but all I can find is information about how to remove the data after the fact, which I already know how to do, but it would sure be nice if it never got added in the first place. Thanks.
Oh, yuck. Yeah, I have a Samsung phone, too, and can't figure out how to strip exif data from screenshots. You might be stuck with a third-party exif-stripper app.
The only meta data saved is the Android software version.
My Samsung S21 screenshots show "Android UP1A.231005.007.G991BXXS9FXAK"
Generally when you share media via social and messaging apps the meta data is stripped automatically. So for the most part everyone is perfectly fine even with regular media where you have things like geolocation meta data enabled.
Yeah that's what I've been using. I was hoping there'd be a way to just not include exif data in the first place.
