Mi Secure sharing

Provides an option in the settings of the Xiaomi Gallery to automatically remove location and metadata from images

you want to share. This do not remove metadata of the picture in the gallery but only the shared copy.

There's also a "Secure sharing" watermark that shows up when you share photos on WeChat without metadata.

The question is does this really remove all EXIF tags? Can someone test?

This is a useful app anyway but do not forget that all your photos/vidoes taken with the Xiaomi camera are still geo-tagged

(+ all others exif tags) by default.

What you can do is at least revoke the GPS permission to the camera.

FOSS alternative to this app :

Commands

adb shell pm uninstall --user 0 com.miui.zman

To put it back:

adb shell cmd package install-existing com.miui.zman

Every removal listed here is per-user only: the system image is untouched, and the restore command puts the app back from the copy already on the device. Nothing is downloaded.

This is not the directory. Here we say what a package is in general; what happens on your particular television is on your model's entry, and that one wins. The same package can be dead weight on one set and hold the home screen up on another.
