i also see the unique image id and software version of device. But i think this is somewhat the case with all manufacturers. Although any indentifiers are non desirable , they wouldn’t reveal a lot about you. Actually most social media platforms have a feature which removes such metadata before uploading it on their platform. I also noticed , that though geo location setting was off , it did show me my timezone. Not sure if i can turn those off . There is a feature in autoblocker , maximum mode to remove exif before sharing screenshots
