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.
signal deletes all metadata in photos.
what you do is, you uninstall that zuckerberg shit and install signal instead
problem solved

That’s pretty useless given that WA has your phone number and is owned by Facebook who can identify you by just looking at when you receive messages. You’re already identified, there’s not use in hiding hardware information at that point and that’s barely much of an identifier anyways.
Image metadata is mainly a concern when other people aren’t supposed to know where they’re taken. If you’re sending them to friends and family who know where you are anyways, why bother.
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.
there isn’t really mitigating any hardware fingerprint. whatever you’re using sounds like a bit of a scam lol.
It’s an open source xposed framework module so you can read the code to see what it’s doing: https://github.com/M66B/XPrivacyLua/tree/master
oh great. rooting, smh
