2 months ago Some apps do allow you to do this via the sharesheet.
https://github.com/Tommy-Geenexus/exif-eraser is an example. You share the picture, share it with this app, it removes the EXIF and automatically re-shares the picture, so you can then share it where you want.
Since apps exist that provide this functionality fairly seamlessly, it might not be worth the maintenance effort to add this to the OS.
The Camera app already strips metadata from photos by default. But personally i tend to enable it because it makes organising much easier. A toggle on the share menu to remove the metadata would be useful. Maybe it could even be an option in the settings similar to 'save screenshot timestamp to exif' which could make it permanent. This could be done by some apps but having it as an option on the share menu would make it much more convenient.
