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.

    You can, but, it’s a select few models and most are older.

    Edit: personally I don’t flash my phone because I’m poor and can’t risk bricking it

      Honestly, hard bricking (damaging the bootloader beyond repair) is really hard and soft bricking is solved by getting to download mode and flashing the correct version. While starting with custom roms, having no idea what i do, i flashed my Galaxy Xcover 1 with the OS for a sub-version of the device and it almost worked.

      Truth, I feel this too. My phone was a birthday present from my husband too, so I’d feel really bad if I bricked it.
