Snapchat does not save any EXIF data. Without root, do you know how to add Geotag (from AutoLocation) and Date Taken (from date modified) to these pictures?

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

As far as geotagging goes, this write-up might prove helpful to you.

Thank you very much. Using the Application Context to determine which files need to be modified is very clever. I was going to use the File Modified Event but your method seems more efficient.

I believe I can modify your Task to suit my needs, but in the zip file you posted, I only saw the Profile. Would greatly appreciate it if you could also include the "Geotag Photos" Task in the zip.

Oh, sorry, I forgot the geotagging task would not be included in the profile export. Here you go.

The file detection method was a tip I got from Rich D, by the way, so all credit goes to him. It's very nifty indeed.

It seems the shell method won't work for me as I don't have the proper Find binary on my Galaxy S6 (error below). Thank you for your help though!

sh: <stdin>[2]: find: not found

Aaarrrgg... I was afraid of that... :( looks like I will have to come up with a different approach as well if I want my app to run across multiple devices. Check this thread for the %FOTO approach. It may work on your device..
