  • Why can't you share screenshots? It's just general bad op-sec, obviously your phone model alone can't be used against you, but it can be used to connect the dots with other information. People send screenshots all the time, and you can still share a screenshot of something while having privacy.

    Some people share screenshots without knowing they are also giving other data included, like there phone model or something close to it. Even if metadata is stripped

  • It's bad op-sec and general privacy. What if you don't want anybody knowing you use a old burner phone? Some people even hide there timezone even though millions of people have the same one, RFP hides your timezone aswell. People don't share there birthday even though they aren't the only person with it even without the year. It's about connecting the dots with multiple pieces of information, and this is one of them.

    Your iPhone model can be found or narrowed down from a simple screenshot

    When you send a screenshot (even if height/width only is cropped) , the screenshot's width and height can be used to find the iPhone model of someone or narrowed down.

    The most unique sized iPhone on the market right now is the iPhone 16 Pro and iPhone 16 Pro Max, as no other phone has the same width and height. So if you send a screenshot people will 100% know your exact phone. The regular iPhone 16 is common with the rest of the other phones and not unique.

    If you send a screenshot from a iPhone XR, people can know if you using an iPhone 11 or iPhone XR since they have the same dimension which narrows down alot of options. (828x1792)

    You can use this site here to view a list of all the dimensions. Click the iPhone's tab and sort the physical width or height.

    If you don't want to expose your phone model, crop both width and height of each screenshot randomly. I would suggest cropping out the top of the phone as it shows your time if you care ab

  • I just watch YouTube signed out in Safari. It is very easy to build your algorithm from there. I don't mind the ads since I don't watch YouTube mainly on my phone and I occasionally clear cookies.

    You can also install Orion Browser, made by Kagi creators of a privacy focused paid search engine, which supports Firefox extensions like uBLock but I don't think it is open source right now but It will be soon.
