Need to use ExifTool on android phone without root access, how this can be done?

That would be beyond the scope of this forum.  I know there are phone apps that allow using of Perl, so you might look there.
* Did you read FAQ #3 and use the command listed there?
* Please use the Code button for exiftool code/output.
 
* Please include your OS, Exiftool version, and type of file you're processing (MP4, JPG, etc).

I'd be interested if you manage to get this working - I've asked in the past about getting exiftool running under iOS (or specifically iPadOS) and never managed to find a solution.

There is this exiftool android app which appears to be still updated, but it was not created by Phil.

Got to run

pkg install exiftool

and good to go.
