My recent model Android phone usually names photos with a date time,
like "20250126_115743", but there was one photo in a series that
when I sent it via email to my desktop computer, came in with the
name: "mrousavy-5722737825195822912.jpg".  The photo displays fine,
and even the exif info looks good, so I'm able to rename it and keep
things logical.

 
It turns out that the photo with the wacko name was "taken" by the plant
identification app, "Seek".  In testing a bit, any time I ask Seek to take
a photo, it gets recorded with the "mrousavy*.jpg" type of filename.  I'll
have to snoop a bit more to see if this behavior can be made more logical.

Without a URL to the Google Play Store app page, others have to guess
which "seek" app you are using.  Might it be the following one?

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=org.inaturalist.seek
https://www.inaturalist.org/pages/seek_app

I searched their forum on "mrous", and found:

https://forum.inaturalist.org/t/android-removes-location-from-photo-taken-with-seek/46647

The text "mrous" isn't there.  However, hovering over the pic of leaves
shows a popup saying "mrousavy<bunchOfnumbers>".  You might want to ask
there if the app is using libraries from:

https://mrousavy.com/projects

Or, why iNaturalist's Seek app defaults to "mrousavy*" filenames for
saved pics.
