I took some pictures with Geo Tagging enabled. I want to remove the location info from one of those pictures. I can't seem to do it at all on my phone.
Managed to delete the exif data from a Windows 10 box after downloading, but seems like I should be able to do it in Google photos.
Various Google search results say you can but, I don't have the option to on my pixel.

I am using a HTC Sense ROM (VillainROM for the Desire, specifically) and tried testing out Geotagging for the first time today.
I set my GPS to on, and took the photo with the geotagging setting switched on in the stock camera app.
But when I imported it into iPhoto, it wouldn't show the location on the map.
I presume this is because it uses GPS to tag a photo and since the photo was taken inside it didn't get a location and thus didn't tag it?
If that's the case, is there anyway to force the camera app to use mobile triangulation for geotagging photos, or an app that can do this?
For whatever reason pictures from picasa are showing up in my gallery and I have never used picasa and it won't let me delete them. They constantly show in my gallery and I can't get them out...
Any suggestions? Thanks

I somehow managed this one as well.
Would hope for a more useful reply.
I tried toggling sync under my google account and rebooting and such and even tried manually searching for the pictures internally in my phone.
Fortunately, I made a non-related nandroid like 40 minutes earlier before applying a framework mod.
Reverted and reapplied to get back to where I was.
All I did to get the stubborn buggars to show up in the first place was click the "refresh" option in gallery.

i think the pics come from google+ (at least in my case)
should be the same pic you see in google+ / photo
so..or u uninstall google+, or remove all the pics in google+, or you have to live with the pics in ur gallery as i do
1. Disable sync for google photos under account & sync
2. Go to apps > Gallery
3. Force stop then clear data
If you enable google photo sync accidentally, the picasa album will show up in gallery again. Just repeat the steps above to remove it.
Lastly, use search next time. This question has been asked gazillion times.

thanks it worked, even if i didn't enabled gooogle photos synch..maybe the first time i installed it, it was enabled...
anyway they disappear from the gallery after a phone reboot (maybe just sdcard rescan is enough)

If you have google+ installed and the albums are showing up again, clear data for G+ too.
They need to patch this coz it shouldn't be so troublesome.
Picture cards (from wikipedia) are not showing in Google voice search. Is there any way to fix it??? Or are there any settings that i'm missing out on? And i'm currently outside US so can it be the reason?
Unfortunately you are right, in your setting, set it to search on google.com, (Google now, settings, privacy and accounts, tick the box), then you will get pictures. This used to break local searches, but they seem ok now =]
Help!
I OTA upgraded my unrooted Google Pixel 2 XL with Android Pie to Q Beta 1, Beta 2 and Beta 2 patch. Now my Google Photos seems severely broken (even though I updated it to the latest version available).
When I edit a photo, a toast message tells that the changes could not be saved. The thumbnails shows the unchanged photo and when I open it, it still looks unchanged. But as soon as I start to zoom, the photo switches to the edited version (pretty obvious when changing a photo to b/w). It seems like the cached thumbnail (and small size local cache) stays unchanged.
I assumed a permission issue and tried several things: Revoking and re-granting all permissions for both Google Photos and Google Camera, granting permissions via adb but still no lock.
I forced closed Google Photos, deleted the complete data and synced anew. As soon as all photos have been retrieved from the cloud, Photos tells me to have several hundred changes to upload. Cannot be. I forced closed again, cleared the data, cleared the local photos folder and started anew. The same thing happened again. Buzzer. Before factory resetting the whole phone, I did a last try:
I switched scope storage off with adb and started Google Photos over again after having deleted everything once more. This time, Google Photos retrieved all Photos fine without wanting to upload anything after this.
So obviously, it was an issue releated to scoped storage.
But even now, editing photos still do not show the edited version in thumbnail view. I am rather desperate and thinking about factory resetting my phone. What keeps me from doing it, is that I fear the same behaviour might occur again since it is due to the Q Beta 2 + patch.
Any clues, hints tipps, whatever? This would be highly appreciated!
Thx, Andreas
I have just noticed that the changes are not submitted to the cloud. Even worse: They are treated as a copy, meaning that the original file is lost. The permissions seem to be messed up pretty badly.
I updated my pixel to beta 2 update with latest patch still having same problem , some bank apps I use don't work now too frustrating, Camera is lagging
same problem here, I return to stable one
deleted
I tried the instructions I gave and they didn't work
Just for update: Works flawlessly now with Beta 3
Hi
I have been using Quickpic for like 8 years on my Androids, but since Cheetah mobile got a hold of it, it went down hill. I have tried to use Samsung's built in gallery app, but it simply cannot cope with stuff being deleted using other apps in the system - put simply it will forever show either empty or complete thumbnails for the items that have been been removed from the filesystem - quickpic used to update instantly reacting to live changes on the underlying filesystem.
I use a drone with my note, and use the drone's own software to manage its pics/vids so its totally unacceptable for my to have to delete the content using the drone app, and then also delete the non-existing content from the samsung gallery just to have it quick showing thumbnails for stuff that is no longer existing on the ruddy device. Has anyone pointed out to Samsung that its 2019 ?!
So Suggestions for a gallery app that will react to changes (additions and deletions) in the underlying filesystem)?
The only way, in my understanding, for this to happen, is that your drone file deletion is malfunctioning.
Your phone finds cached photo's information, and showing it to you.
That means that your drone leaves leftovers after deletion. That is a security/privacy risk and also take up some storage from your SD card.
I delete pics and videos all the time from the phone directly and also using my laptop and never had any problems you describe, so previous poster may be right about drone being the culprit. Also I do remember I had some issues when all my pics were backed up to cloud and sometimes they would go out of sync, where phone would think the picture was in cloud, but wasn't there anymore, but I stopped using cloud services long time ago and don't remember details.
I use the paid version of F-Stop.
Gives you a ton of control.

Beside the stock Gallery, I also have an old Motorola Gallery on my Note 10+. I just carry the apk. file from phone to phone it's simple and works fine.
