Date & Time Stamp for Android Photos

The Android phone does not have an automatic application to add date and time to photos, before/during/after capture.

These app(s) will need to be downloaded in order to add date, time, GPS coordinates, etc to photos.

However, these apps require access to the entire phone.

This means that these apps can know our exact GPS coordinates and be able to locate us, steal our PIN for our bankcards, and download our photos from our phone, without users being aware.

Thus, I think it is best to try these apps one by one, and then quickly remove them.

Here are the apps that I have tried and then removed them from my phone, after my security app said they were harmful.

Vignette
Time Stamp
Auto Stamper for Camera
Photo Stamp

I think it is safer without any automatic date & time stamp apps in smartphones.

I think a safer means to annotate photos with information such as date, time, GPS coordinates, location, your name, your company info, etc is by doing it manually, using any photo editing software. Download the photos to the laptop and annotate them somehow - either do it for individual photos, a series of photos, a batch of photos, or the entire folder of photos. It is better to be safe than sorry.
