How to Change Date and Time of a Photo on Android

The quality of mobile phone cameras continues to improve, and we are capturing more images than in the past. However, there are times when the time and date information contained in those images is wrong.

You may want to update the time to make things easy to find; the metadata may have been corrupted during the file transfer, or the camera’s clock may have been incorrectly set. Irrespective of the drive, the ability to edit a smartphone photo’s date and time is quite practical.

How to change Photo’s Time and Date on an Android

Many Android features, like the built-in photo store and third-party apps, allow you to edit an image’s time and date. This book will cover many different approaches so that you can find the approach that suits you best.
