uninvitedfriend:

Also, now that I’m in this rabbit hole, you can even be fingerprinted by “Font size” and “Display size” settings (or in dev settings: “Smallest width” dpi setting or “Display cutout”/notch of your device).

That’s why I prefer sending only part of screen (so no full-screen resolution catches). You can randonly crop borders for better privacy too.

Also, if you are in exta sensetive situation (or just paranoid like me) you can use something like this approach:

Install util:

sudo apt install imagemagick

Use it to add noise to picture to make it more difficult for automatic tools to recognise what on picture:

convert photo.jpg -attenuate 1.0 +noise Gaussian noisy.jpg

photo.jpg - input file name, 1.0 - “power” of noise, Gaussian - type of noise, noisy.jpg - output

But this needs computer with Linux for convenience (but you can try Termux, imagemagick should whork there pretty fine)
