Description
Scrambled Exif (pronounced eggsif) helps you remove the metadata in your pictures before you share them.
If you feel like it.
If you don't want the big Internet companies (or whomever) to know where your pictures were taken don't forget to remove the metadata from them before you share them.
To remove the metadata from a picture, simply share it like you'd normally do and choose Scrambled Exif. A moment later, the share 'dialog' will reappear. Now just share with the app you intended to share with in the first place.
Et voilà!
Required Android Permissions:
★ READ_EXTERNAL_STORAGE to read the images other apps share with it.

Misc Stuff and Facts
★ Basically, Exif is used by jpeg, which is the format in which your Android camera saves pictures. If you want to know more about Exif, check the Wikipedia.
★ Scrambled Exif also renames the files (this can be disabled).
★ Please don't heavily rely on the data being deleted. Scrambled Exif does its job pretty well, but it could fail. Always double-check before you share.
★ It doesn't really scramble the Exif data, it deletes it. So the name is probably stupid. But I like it. The icon doesn't depict scrambled eggs either. So the icon is probably stupid. But I like it. And I also happen to be a huge fan of eggs. So this app doesn't only have a stupid name and an equally stupid icon, it is also my (non-stupid) tribute to eggs. Especially huevos fritos. Because I love them.
★ Have fun sharing your pics!
Recent changes: New in 1.7.14
★ Just maintenance stuff (upgrade a bunch of dependencies).
New in 1.7.12
★ Some maintenance stuff. ★ Also had to introduce a change (not requesting storage permission) for modern Androids, which is very nice, but could cause Scrambled Exif not work with apps that share pics incorrectly. Sorry, couldn't avoid that change due to Play Store policies. ★ If everything completely breaks for you, you'll have to install an older version from F-Droid.

Really useful app! It does exactly what it says it does, and I think (literally) couldn't be any simpler or more straight-forward: share your pic -> select this app, which immediately strips all EXIF data then prompts again for where you'd like to share the "cleaned" image. Files are optionally renamed... Absolutely zero network connections (data collection, advertising, or otherwise) are ever attempted. Search for "scrambled exif pro" to support the dev(s)!
★★★★★Adam (Alchemyst)· Dec 29, 2022
Does what it says and does it just fine, also it has a fun name, so basically the only question is: do you want to scramble your EXIF? If yes, I hope vaporized is acceptable because this will get rid of it entirely lol. Thanks for making a simple, quality app that just works well and does what it says.

Doesn't work. I share the picture to the app, and the picture disappears. No progress bar... the "share bar" is still there, but the picture shows a broken link icon.

Doesn't work. Not on my Galaxy S24 Ultra or my older S21. Sharing photos to it does reload the share dialog, but files remain unchanged. I know the app requires storage permission, but it never requests it and the permission doesn't appear in the app info page, so there seems to be no way to grant the required permission.

Doesn't work on Galaxy S23. The EXIF data doesn't change at all.
