Whether you can read metadata from a received photo depends on the channel, not the tool. Email and AirDrop pass the file unchanged. Messaging apps re-encode — EXIF is gone, but a compression signature takes its place.
A single geotagged photo shows where you were once. A few dozen shows where you live, work, and go every day — and most people are still sharing photos with full GPS data attached.
Every photo you take on your smartphone embeds a detailed record of where you were, what device you used, and exactly when — and most people have no idea how easy it is to read.
