Comments on DATE: ExifTool for WhatsApp for Android

★★★★★ Ziyi Y · Nov 21, 2023
Just want to say thank you, I lost all my phone data (photos of 2 years without any backups) due to receiving an android update, I felt like a part of my life had been wiped off in a snap. The only thing I could do was to go to WhatsApp and download all the photos from conversations, I was desperate when I realized the images has lost all the EXIF information, thanks to your app, at least I could recover them with the correct dates.
★★★★★ Pedro Silva · Jul 8, 2023
Great App, does what it sets to do! I would like it to also check the Private and Images Sent folder, as now only does the Images folder. I would like to maybe have a review screen or maybe have the results written afterward for double-checking. I noticed that some photos that are around midnight get the date wrong by one day. Minor issue, since WhatsApp images could have been received a different day from when it was taken. I would also like to see this app for WhatsApp videos.

Not updated exif of any photo. Processed over 20k but not updated a single. Sent mail with error details.
★☆☆☆☆ Rahul Gaur · Feb 4, 2022
Messed up my WhatsApp images totally. Made it worst. Please do not use it guys. Feeling pissed off 😤
★☆☆☆☆ aaron acosta · Jul 15, 2021
It keeps asking for permission. I already gave it permission, but it still does not proceed. Says Approval required. Android 11. Samsung Note 10 Plus.
★☆☆☆☆ Roshni Passi · Sep 26, 2021
Not working, and I emailed the developer long ago, but he hasn't bothered to reply
★☆☆☆☆ Arj SD · Apr 17, 2022
This did absolutely NOTHING to resolve the issue. It only took my media post-restore and screwed them up too. Thanks for making the situation even worse!

Description by appDNA Written by the developer, not by AppBrain. Click to read.
(This app is not related to WhatsApp or WhatsApp Inc. in any way)
WhatsApp image optimizer is a simple tool to reorganzie your images after they have been messed up WhatsApp. This means that the images are not properly sorted by the date they have been taken at.
Why does this happen?
Whenever you send an image via WhatsApp, WhatsApp removes any unnecessary metadata from the image, including the date taken. The metadate that is affected by this is called Exif-Data(see below)
The removal of this data normally does not cause any problems as the phone gallery uses the file creation date information to sort the imagesd in your gallery. So the normal use does not encounter any issues. But in case of, for example, a user restoring a WhatsApp-Backup after switching to a new device, the file creation date changes to the date the backup is restored. This will cause all WhatsApp images to be shown as taken on the same day. This is the point when this app comes to your help. Using the file name, in which WhatsApp saves the date created of the image, we will recreate the date taken and save it into the images metadata. After the optimization process is done, all your images will be sorted properly again. THIS APP WILL NOT OVERRIDE IMAGES WHICH ALREADY CONTAIN EXIF DATA.

THE CREATOR OF THIS APP DOES NOT TAKE RESPONSIBILITY FOR ANY PROBLEMS CAUSED BY THIS APP DURING THE OPTIMIZATION PROCESS.

--- What is EXIF? ---
from Wikipedia:
"Exchangeable image file format (officially Exif, according to JEIDA/JEITA/CIPA specifications) is a standard that specifies the formats for images, sound, and ancillary tags used by digital cameras
The metadata tags defined in the Exif standard cover a broad spectrum:

- Date and time information. Digital cameras will record the current date and time and save this in the metadata.
- Camera settings. This includes static information such as the camera model and make, and information that varies with each image such as orientation (rotation), aperture, shutter speed, focal length, metering mode, and ISO speed information.
- A thumbnail for previewing the picture on the camera's LCD screen, in file managers, or in photo manipulation software.
- Descriptions
- Copyright information."
