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.

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
