## Description

DATE: ExifTool for WhatsApp is a simple tool that helps you restore the original dates of images sent via WhatsApp. When images are shared through WhatsApp, crucial metadata is often stripped away, leading to improper sorting in your gallery. This app retrieves the correct 'date taken' information from the file name and reinserts it into the image's metadata, allowing images to be organized accurately once again.
