How to Encrypt Photos Before Sharing on WeTalkin

Photos contain hidden metadata — GPS coordinates, device model, timestamps, and camera settings — that reveal more than you intend. WeTalkin strips this metadata and encrypts photos before sharing for complete image privacy.

1

Enable Metadata Stripping

Go to Settings > Privacy > Strip Photo Metadata. When enabled, WeTalkin automatically removes EXIF data (GPS location, device info, timestamps) from all photos before sharing. This prevents location and device tracking through shared images.

2

Share Photos with E2EE

Tap the attachment icon in any conversation and select photos from your gallery. WeTalkin strips metadata, encrypts the photo, and sends it. Only the intended recipient can view the shared image.

3

Use Disappearing Photos

Enable disappearing messages before sharing sensitive photos. The photo auto-deletes from all devices after the timer expires. This is ideal for sharing photos you want recipients to see briefly but not keep permanently.

4

Take and Share In-App

Use WeTalkin's in-app camera to take and share photos directly. Photos taken within WeTalkin bypass your device's camera roll, leaving no trace outside the encrypted conversation.

Now you know how. Take the next step — download WeTalkin free.

Frequently Asked Questions

What metadata do photos contain?

Most photos contain EXIF data: GPS coordinates (where the photo was taken), device model, date/time, camera settings, and sometimes facial recognition data. WeTalkin strips all of this before sharing.

Are photos encrypted during sharing?

Yes. Photos are encrypted end-to-end before leaving your device. Combined with metadata stripping, this provides complete protection — no one can extract location, device, or personal data from shared images.

Can I share photos without metadata stripping?

You can toggle metadata stripping on or off in Settings. When disabled, original photo metadata is preserved but the photo is still encrypted end-to-end during transfer.
