His reasoning was that white people won so it’s our land now.

Oh yeah, I hear this all the time where I live in South Dakota. The other one is that “it’s been so long,” ignoring that there’s still an ongoing genocide against Native Americans.

Then there are the real galaxy brains that will tell you “everything is stolen, so that makes it OK.” I just … can’t even with these people.

Android phone saving metadata for screenshots (i.ibb.co)

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...

Mine’s a Samsung S21FE so I don’t think I can use that OS

@LinkOpensChest_wav@midwest.social avatar

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.

I don’t see a screenshot app in the apps list, even when I select to show system apps.

Is there a way to prevent this?

This only works for photos taken with the camera, not for screenshots

No worries. Thanks for responding.

I knew I’d get a comment like this eventually. There’s no rational reason it should be adding this data at all, and there should be a way to disable this behavior. The camera I use doesn’t add this data when I take a photo, and there’s no reason taking a screenshot should do so.

The software version doesn’t just say “Android 14” either. It looks very specific.

No matter how you look at it, this is not an acceptable way for a device to behave, with no way to change it in settings.

To me this is a non-issue.

Clearly, I feel differently. This may blow your mind, but people have different feelings about sharing information that is so specific that it can be identifying information.

Did you come here just to insult me, or do you have any actual insight into my inquiry? I really don’t understand people like you. Just ignore the post if you don’t care or don’t want to be helpful.

Yeah, unfortunately I don’t believe I can flash a custom rom onto a Samsung. Ugh.

Thanks for responding!

So … do you have a way to stop screenshots from saving metadata to my screenshots or not? I’ve indicated my wishes. If you don’t want to help, then please ignore the post.

LinkOpensChest_wav,
@LinkOpensChest_wav@midwest.social avatar

Yeah, that’s what I’m starting to think. Ugh, so frustrating! I’ll just keep removing it after the fact. Thanks!

LinkOpensChest_wav,
@LinkOpensChest_wav@midwest.social avatar

Yeah. In my opinion, it’s more of Samsung’s bullshit. There’s really no conceivable reason not to give users the option to avoid having metadata saved with their screenshots. It’s super annoying because I have to open it with a third-party app, strip the metadata, save the stripped image, then delete the original (which I rarely do, because it’s so time consuming already, so it’s taking up twice the amount of storage for me).

I did find a third-party screenshot app that doesn’t save metadata, but it’s problematic in its own way, so I won’t use it.

I’ll just keep stripping it manually. It’s a pita though, and I feel like there should be an easy solution. A lot of users in this thread say their phones don’t save metadata in their screenshots, but I’m unfortunate enough to have a Samsung.

LinkOpensChest_wav,
@LinkOpensChest_wav@midwest.social avatar

Except who’s trying to argue? I’m merely asking if anyone knows a way to prevent metadata from being saved to my screenshots. I’m not looking for an argument.

If this type of inquiry doesn’t belong in this community, I’d gladly take advice on where to ask instead.

Nice. This will take a bit of learning, but if I can figure it out, it can save me a bunch of time! Thanks!

I’m poor and can’t risk bricking it

Truth, I feel this too. My phone was a birthday present from my husband too, so I’d feel really bad if I bricked it.

LinkOpensChest_wav,
@LinkOpensChest_wav@midwest.social avatar

Thanks. I’ve been looking for a replacement app for the camera since the one I use was bought out.
