About ExifEraser
ExifEraser strips metadata such as EXIF data from images on Android, so location, camera and other details are not passed on when you share a picture. It is described as permissionless, meaning it does not need to request Android permissions to do its work.
The developer considers the app to be in maintenance mode, because the View-based libraries it is built on are in maintenance mode, and has no plans for a rewrite or significant new features.
