Do social networks strip EXIF automatically?

EXIF Tool · FAQ

Some do, some don't, and the rules change without notice. Facebook, Instagram and Twitter strip most EXIF on public posts but keep some internally. WhatsApp, Telegram (when "send as file"), Discord, email attachments, blogs, eBay listings — almost all keep EXIF intact. Never assume any service strips for you.
