Pixveil strips the hidden metadata from your photos before you share them — so you control what you reveal. Every photo your iPhone takes quietly embeds GPS coordinates, camera model, exact timestamp, lens settings, and more into the file. When you share that photo, all of it goes with it. Pixveil is the fastest way to see exactly what's hidden and remove it in one tap. View full EXIF metadata, grouped by category: · Location — GPS latitude, longitude, altitude · Camera — Make, model, lens, aperture, ISO, shutter speed · Date & Time — When the photo was taken and digitized · File — Dimensions, color space, file size Strip metadata instantly: · One-tap full strip removes everything · Selective strip (Pro) — keep GPS but remove camera, or any combination · Batch strip (Pro) — clean up to 60 photos in a single operation WHAT MAKES PIXVEIL DIFFERENT · 100% on-device processing — your photos never touch a server · Inspect before you strip: see exactly which fields will go · One-time Pro purchase — no subscription, ever PRICING Inspecting photos and the one-tap full strip are included at no charge. Pixveil Pro (selective strip, batch strip, and all future features) is a single one-time purchase — yours forever, with no subscription. FEEDBACK Questions, bug reports, or feature ideas?

Verdict
The clearest difference is update cadence: AppLocker at every 3 days against Pixveil's every 2 months. AppLocker also leads on iOS requirement (16.0 vs 26.0). On price, ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
