I use scrambled exif. Works well but only when sharing photos, it can't erase metadata from your library.

"Photo Metadata Remover" by Syrupy on the Play Store was the tool recommended by the security team at a previous workplace. I rarely need it, but I see it's added ads, so I'd be more tempted to check for a FOSS alternative.
There's always ImageMagick on PC, if you don't mind dealing with them there. It strips EXIF and Adobe metadata from images very well. Or the old "screenshot of a digital photo" trick is still peerless.
I use ImagePipe, which has worked well for me
Yeah, ImagePipe also resizes large images to defined dimensions and quality, which typically reduces the file size. And the app takes all of one megabyte, instead of over 150 that Image Toolbox takes.
Although I have a weird issue that it currently seems to resize smaller images to the target dimensions too, even though 'max w&h' is selected.
I use ExifEraser
Image Toolbox does other stuff too.

You could open the photo and take a screenshot?
Screenshots have metadata also 🙂

Image Toolbox if you're looking for more features.
I've not used it for this purpose, but the (excellent) Photo Editor has a batch edit function and removing metadata appears to be an option:

Scrambled Exif is simple and works well in my experience. You can also try ExifEraser, which I've found works about the same, maybe with a few extra features.
You can turn off geotagging in the camera settings.
I have not used that part of this tool, but here is one. https://f-droid.org/packages/ru.tech.imageresizershrinker/
I use Piktures it allows you to remove location data before sharing. This way it only removes the data when you want to as opposed to removing it from all pics
