XF 2.3 removal of EXIF data from images

[hdrcweb]

I've read in a few places that XF removes EXIF data by default - https://xenforo.com/community/threads/wmtech-exif-location-data-remover-paid.101799/page-2
But mine doesn't, I upload an image fom my phone, then download it and all the EXIF data is still there.
Have I missed a setting or does XF not do this?
If t doesn't do it, is there a plug that is still being supported I can use? the only one I have found hasn't been updated since 2015 and only works with XF 1.x

Thanks

I think historically it was only stripped if the image is resized by your image processor on the server, which if it's a small image, and depending on your image processing settings it might not be. I'm not sure if that's still currently the case though

After digging (way too deep) into attachments & EXIF, curious to the thought process behind stripping the EXIF data from attachments while at the same time seemingly embracing it in the gallery?

Fixed, there's an option on uplaods to convert to .webp that removes the metadate
