[Tip] Disable or Remove Watermarks on Camera Photos in Android Mobile Phones

I have seen in many Android mobile phones specially Chinese brands, whenever you take a photo using the built-in stock Camera app, a “Shot on” watermark is automatically added to the bottom-left corner of the image. The watermark shows mobile phone company name and sometimes the model name as well. Many smartphone manufacturer companies apply this automatic watermark on all photos to promote their brand name and mobile phone model.

In most of these mobile phones, the watermark option is enabled by default and the phone automatically puts watermark on all photos taken by the user. In some mobile phones, the watermark also shows user information such as name if set by the user.

Personally I don’t like these watermarks on photos. I want a perfect shot not cluttered by watermark and phone information.

Many times readers ask me how to get rid of this annoying watermark on photos shot on their mobile phones. Thankfully there is a way to disable or remove the watermark on photos in Google Android mobile phones.

The Camera app allows users to show or hide watermark on photos and users can turn on or off watermark feature according to their requirements.
