## What is PrivaLens?

PrivaLens helps you share photos without accidentally sharing private information hidden inside them.

Every photo can carry invisible metadata such as GPS location, timestamps, device details, camera settings, author fields, and other embedded information. PrivaLens lets you inspect those hidden fields and remove them before you share.

Features:
• See hidden photo metadata before sharing
• Detect GPS location, timestamps, device details, camera settings, and more
• Remove metadata with one tap
• Clean multiple photos at once
• Clean directly from Photos using the Share Extension
• Keep a local history of cleaned photos
• Works fully on-device

PrivaLens does not upload your photos. It does not require an account. It does not track you. Your photos stay on your iPhone, and clean copies are created locally.

Share without oversharing.
