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
