Android app to remove all location data in bulk

I have a shortcut to Exiftool in my Windows taskbar to do this. that's a wrapper around exiftool which provides a window and drag/drop. It was incorrect to say " exiftool is a command line tool and therefore has no drag and drop capability" because the wrapper facility is provided by Exiftool. The web site says: "drag-and-drop files and folders to run exiftool on the selected files" https://www.sno.phy.queensu.ca/~phil/exiftool/ there are third party tools that may have drag and drop and which use exiftool under the hood. However I can't find a bulk EXIF remover for Android. In fact all I want is a bulk EXIF location tag remover for Android and I haven't come across one. then you haven't looked. I have looked and installed several of the apps I found but none do what I asked for. then keep looking, or refine your search terms to get better results. Why would I waste my time asking here if I could find apps for myself more quickly than it takes to write a message? because it's easier to have other people do the work. You are incorrect. I can't find such an app. Please stop trying to pretend I can and claiming it is laziness which makes me ask. On the other hand you didn't manage to check drag and drop on Phil Harvey's Exiftool site because the info is there in plain sight and I don't know what you put that down to. a search brings up quite a few options. I think you are referring to something other than what I am looking for. I posted: Is there an android app which will remove all GPS location data from all the photos in a folder? The EXIF editors I have seen need you to go into an individual photo's EXIF window and remove the location data for that photo. some might, while others can process a batch. however, doing that on an android device is not ideal. |

However I can't find a bulk EXIF remover for Android. In fact all I want is a bulk EXIF location tag remover for Android and I haven't come across one. There must be a demand for such a thing because Android is very invasive and shares personal data too readily. A Google search leads me down this path: https://gadgets.ndtv.com/apps/featur...m-photos-view- edit-exif-android-windows-mac-iphone-1821872 or https://tinyurl.com/y9bed23v They like "EXIF Eraser" so I installed it but I found it doesn't do bulk EXIF erase which is what I want. The site like the granularity the app provides but that's the opposite of what I want! https://play.google.com/store/apps/d....photoexifedit or&hl=en_US I went and installed that app too too but again it only does a file at a time. Thanks for your help. https://www.guidingtech.com/31763/remove-geo-location-exif-data/ That's onereason to bulk erase all EXIF data on your phone! |

Maybe I'm crap at searching but I did search and did so many times and on various days and also installed various candidate apps, so you have no grounds to tell me I didn't search. I suspect such a feature doesn't exist because maybe Android users would only rarely wish to cleanse all their pictures of EXIF data. My need arises because I am starting to use my smartphone camera and took all the early pictures with embedded location data. |

Exiftool is not conyl a command line tool. It is at heart a command line tool but I defer to the author who I have already quoted you as saying "drag-and-drop files and folders to run exiftool on the selected files". exiftool absolutely is a command line tool but is used in non-cli apps. he is talking about the windows executable, which only exists because windows lacks perl. Note "Exiftool". Note "drag and drop". If you think Phil Harbey is wrong or writes unclear English then send him an email and tell him your views. phil isn't wrong. you are. you also refuse to learn about what exiftool actually is and what it can do. you're also blind to anything other than windows. Despite your objection, I was correct to write: "I have many Windows tools which will remove EXIF data, including EXIFtool which I like for its drag and drop option". no you were not correct, because exiftool does not have drag/drop, nor can it, for reasons already explained. there is a windows *version* that does, which wraps exiftool, but that only works on windows and was created because windows cannot be guaranteed to have perl. If you can't help me find an app to do a bulk EXIF delete then please don't feel obliged to answer my request. Please don't make claims about what I bothered to do when you are guessing. Maybe I'm crap at searching but I did search and did so many times and on various days and also installed various candidate apps, so you have no grounds to tell me I didn't search. bull****. you might have done a quick query, but that's about it. try changing the query terms to obtain better results. repeat until you get what you seek. learning how to find stuff online is an incredibly good skill to have, and it's something that comes with experience. and no, i'm not going to spoon feed you. I suspect such a feature doesn't exist because maybe Android users would only rarely wish to cleanse all their pictures of EXIF data. it exists. it's also the wrong tool for the job, but if you insist on doing it on android, it can be done. My need arises because I am starting to use my smartphone camera and took all the early pictures with embedded location data. then disable location tagging, which i already mentioned. |
