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.

Why do you care if people know what Android device you’re using? To me this is a non-issue.

Social media and messaging apps strip meta data when you share media, so for the most part no one can see the information you care about. It’s only when you start sharing content via services like OneDrive where people will be able to see the meta data.

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.

Clearly you didn’t read my comment… Did you read the first thing I said and went full on blind rage or something? Read it again for the insight
