Android app to remove all location data in bulk
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. That is slow. |

For a mess of photos in a given folder exiftool can remove all location data (and/or other metadata) with a single command line instruction. Very fast, too. Say your photos are all in: /Users/Jim/Pictures/TheRoadTrip Go to that folder in a terminal window //this is a Mac or Linux command; in Windows correct as needed. cd ~/Pictures/TheRoadTrip exiftool -gps:all= *.jpg OR exiftool "-gps*=" *.jpg use the 2nd one if XMP is being used for location data within the files. You can use it on raw files too (*.dng, etc.) -- "2/3 of Donald Trump's wives were immigrants. Proof that we need immigrants to do jobs that most Americans wouldn't do." - unknown protester |

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. |

On a financial program I was half listening too, they wwere discussing the differncies between Apple pay and the andriod equivalent. They said with Andriod the data collected is passed to 3rd parties for analysis and targeted advertising , whereas Apple (although I was unsure as to how it works) pay the CC financial companies real money for the service provided rather than give away your data. Now as I don't use either system as yet it doesn't worry me paetucually but others it seems value their privacy so maybe this tyope of things should be more widely known about as I hadn't heard how these two systems were impletmented. If it's true that is. mostly true apple is just a conduit to process the transaction between the bank and the merchant, and they have repeatedly stated they do *not* want nor keep purchase data. google, being in the advertising business, tracks what you buy and uses it to better target ads. also keep in mind that the card issuer knows what you buy and where you buy it and does monetize your buying habits. they've been doing that for *years*, long before there was an apple/google pay. stores also track it, although they may not always know your name. for instance, the coupons on the back of the receipt are based on what you bought previously. |
