Create fresh PNG copies from supported photos and re-open the results to check their dimensions and metadata groups before sharing. HOW IT WORKS 1. Open Share Batch and select up to ten supported photos from Photos or Files. 2. Review each fresh copy, the metadata verification and the source/output fingerprint receipt. 3. Share individual copies or the batch, then clear the temporary copies when finished. The existing metadata viewer remains available. Original source files are not overwritten by Share Batch. WHAT TO KNOW Supports single-image JPEG, PNG and HEIC within the displayed size and pixel limits. Copies are PNG and can be larger than their originals. This removes hidden metadata from the generated copy; visible faces, text and locations remain in the picture. It does not guarantee anonymity or erase previously shared originals. iPhone and iPad.

Verdict
The clearest difference is price: SCN at Free against Exifspot's $0.99. SCN also leads on iOS requirement (11.0 vs 17.0). Exifspot's advantage is update cadence (every 5 days vs every 68 months). On ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
