Is it possible to find the original information from an image if it has been received via WhatsApp?
I have been sent an image taken a few years ago, maybe 10 or 11ish, and I was wondering if it was possible to date it correctly.
I read before that a lot of information is created in the background when a picture is taken on a phone, but is this information still contained in the image after it has been sent by WhatsApp?

I think the metadata disappears when you send something via Whatsapp (same with facebook)

This is how to send an image with the original metadata (the technical stuff about the image) via WhatsApp.

Thanks for the answers, I guess that cleared that up then.

Get the sender to re-send the image using the method in the link I gave.
