Comments on: Adding metadata to iOS images the easy way Unfortunatelly there is no way to do this because the sdk does not allow for deleting something from the assets library. I don't know what exactly is your use case but the only way around this would be NOT to write the file without the metadata. But that might not be possible depending on your use. In Snap I save the original file without the notes (but already with metadata) and when I save the photo with the notes overlaid there's no way to get rid of the original. Some users ask for it, but there's no way. I could defer writing the original but that would bring other problems so I decided that it was better to duplicate something rather than missing the picture completely...
