I am new to Glide. I working on a home inspection checklist type app which will involve the user taking several photos of a house.

Question is can Glide be able to date stamp those photos? And be able to watermark the date onto the photo image? I just need to know if its possible before I get too involved in the process. Thank you.

Yes. But I believe a motivated person could deconstruct the image from the watermark.

It’s not a straightforward solution if you want to watermark the date on the photo, but as Eric said, you can record a timestamp alongside those photos when users submit them.
