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.

What app are you using to see the exif data? Perhaps my screenshot has this info as well but the different apps I use to view exif data do not show it.

I'm using an app called Image Toolbox

I use a FOSS camera, and when I take photos I can see there's not any exif data, but there is when I use the volume/power combo to take screenshots.

Ok, yes, my phone (which is not a Samsung) also includes some info in screenshots.

It's a standard Android thing.

Do you care if people know what Android device you're using?

Nah. Not an issue really for me.
