There’s so much data that is captured when we take a photo on our mobile phones, from GPS location data to camera model and settings. In addition to this, our phones now do an algorithmic analysis as well as what AI is now capable of doing. So how can we maintain some level of privacy with our camera and mobile photos? Here’s what you need to know.

I someone looks at my items for sale and wants more pictures i ad the new picture to my post not sending it to the potential customer !
You didn’t really cover on device scanning. There’s no point in encrypting your photos if Apple has machine learning built into the hardware to scan the photos before they’re encrypted. I don’t know that this is as much of a huge threat yet, but it will be. It’s the sneaky little secret that nobody really talks about.
Encamera is not bad but no option for portraits. Is there any private camera app with portrait modes?
Does the same exif data apply to screenshots taken on your device and then added to your photo library? Also when creating a video, before uploading the video to youtube or other sites, can people read the gps location data of where your youtube video was uploaded from? Thanks for the tips!
You can also take a screenshot of a picture before posting any photo online. Screenshot doesn't include any metadata of a traditional photo. The only information it can reveal is the time the screenshot was taken. I have been doing this for years. Uploading a picture to a metadata remover site or app then downloading is time consuming.
I don't store anything online. It doesn't make sense. All these services have proven that they are lying about protecting your privacy.
Build your own server and keep your own stuff. People have become lazy and complacent.
For Samsung this is what I do, these phones have an encrypted area already on the phone called Secure Folder, used to be called Knox. You can keep files in there, but you can also run apps from within there. So I have a camera app in this secure area and 1 outside of it. So the camera app in the secure area, all photos taken will be kept in the secure area. You can easily move apps and files in and out of the secure area. Best of all doesnt cost a thing. 🙂
4:38 they didn’t delete you from YouTube. 😂😂😂😂
3:03 so what your saying is we have been telling AI how to beat that security measure
I've been using Encamera app for 2 months now. I keep some personal and mostly work-related photos in there. For me, it's worth the extra $
Hey Josh, did you pay for the encamera app?
I downloaded it today and was saddened to see there’s a limit to how many photos you can have with the free version 😢
(Also the app seems pretty buggy)
Hey Josh, just wanted to ask
What do you think about grapheneos? Will you make a video about alternate android systems that care about security and privacy?
Great content, as always.
I like the idea of an alternate, 'locked-down' photo app next to the built in 'open' photo app on a phone. I use browsers that way on my mac – 'open' browsers for streaming and when I want to be seen, and a search/private one locked to a split-tunnel VPN for when I don't want marketers to know I have itchy foot issues. I don't get the creepy side-ads that match past search queries any longer.
we need to really push for the default for all these services and apps are secure and private. with options to share as you want…the corps will probably jsut penalize us with high costs .. idk…
Why don’t you do an entire video demonstrating how Delete Me works, so we have a window into how it all works out for the user instead of just a brief description from you
Can I Actually do this
Take a google pixel and degoogle it put graphene take photos that the location and the photos might be saved
And please do correct/suggest me the better way what else can I do instead of what I mentioned above !
On the iPhone, you can easily remove location data from a photo by using the Photos app (edit, adjust, remove location.) Or on either iPhone or Android, you can easily screenshot an existing photo and send that out; the screenshot won't have any personal exif information. Your suggestions are excessive as most users will find EXIF data including location to be highly useful in managing their photo collection. Sure, if you send a photo to an individual or post on a forum that doesn't already strip the data, it's a reasonable precuation to at least remove the location data. But if you're paranoid about Google, Apple, Facebook and three-letter agencies analyzing your photos, just get an old school camera with film and feel 'safe'
Is GrapheneOS or GOS getting censored here?
Secure Camera in the Play Store is the recommendation, fully featured on Android 13 upwards and strips exif too.
To apple specific.
I have gotten back into polaroids.
No exif data there 😉
I like your take on the information.Stay vigilant my friend 🥶🤯👽
