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.

Screenshots are taken using a different app (screenshot utility). Camera apps have nothing to do with it. Who is your phone's manufacturer?

It's Samsung

I looked in settings, but I didn't see anything that looked relevant to metadata

I don't think Samsung has the feature to disable it

Yeah, that's what I'm starting to think. Ugh, so frustrating! I'll just keep removing it after the fact. Thanks!
