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.

I'm running official Lineage, and it saves this data and I found no button for it, so I guess it's not just Samsung only..

You can automate stuff like this on android, Easer and Automation are well known FOSS apps for these kind of tasks. IIRC in Easer you can call terminal commands

Nice. This will take a bit of learning, but if I can figure it out, it can save me a bunch of time! Thanks!
