kennethbspringer.au---When someone sends you a photo, can you read what's recorded inside it?
It depends on how they sent it.
Email or AirDrop: untouched — GPS, timestamps, MakerNote, all there.
Messaging app that re-encodes: EXIF is gone. But the re-encoding writes its own compression signature into the structure — app-specific and forensically readable.
You can strip metadata before sending. The delivery channel leaves its own mark.
