How to Change Date and Time of a Photo on Android

We’re taking more pictures than ever before because smartphone cameras keep getting better. But the date and time information that is stored in those photos isn’t always right.

There are several reasons why this might happen: the camera’s clock wasn’t set correctly, the file transfer messed up the metadata, or you just want to change the date to make things easier to find. Regardless of the reason, being able to change the date and time of a photo on your Android device is very useful.
