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.

In an ideal world we wouldnt need proprietary shitware like WhatsApp. But convincing everyone you know to switch is near impossible.
“Oh, just get better friends or force an ultimatum” is not a healthy solution either. Got one friend and he just doesnt have the phone space for a extra app and sometime we compromise or goals to be with our friends.
Edit: the 2nd part isnt related to the parent comment but to what I’ve seen on all the privacy and foss communities
