METADATA IN PHOTOS ON WHATSAPP - eviltoast

I use xprivacylua to prevent whatsapp from having access to most of the possible software and hardware information to mitigate the fingerprint and now I’m also using the imagepipe to send any image through it.

However, the doubt came.

And the photos taken directly into the option within the application?

Can you still capture metadata?

Note: I use degoogle smartphone. And I do not speak English so excuse any fault.

    I use scrambled exif. Which I imagine is similar to imagepipe. If you are asking for the metadata in the image itself, it might not have too much but you can analyze it on your computer to see what whatsapp will receive.

    Though, with whatsapp, I’m sure you have more things to worry about than just photo metadata.
