    No , but they will get the meta data. But image should be secure. But then your recepient download it , upload it to Google cloud and so on

      You can delete or alter the metadata with multiple available EXIF editor apps.

        Yea GOS camera does it automatically as well. I was thinking of the message data. Size , time, contacts etc

        Referred here as “metadata” is metadata about the communication itself which META gets and extensively uses for marketing, not the image-metadata stored in the image-file.
