Metadata was only dropped as a side effect of opt-in compression, so a phone photo carried its GPS fix, camera model and timestamp into the room and the media store. utils/stripImageMetadata.ts now removes it at the container level, without touching pixels: JPEG drops APP1/APP13/COM (writing back a minimal EXIF holding only Orientation when it isn't 1, so sideways-stored photos still display upright), PNG drops eXIf and the text chunks XMP lives in, WebP drops EXIF/XMP and clears the VP8X flags. Other types pass through. Applied before encryption on every composer path (attach, paste, drop, share target) and to user/room avatar picks; GIF upload is excluded. Setting → General → Privacy "Remove Photo Metadata Before Sending", default on. The upload card says "Photo metadata removed". Unit tests on generated fixtures with a GPS IFD (JPEG orientation 6, JPEG + comment, PNG with eXIf + XMP, WebP with EXIF); verified end to end: the bytes stored by Synapse decode fine and carry only Orientation.
