   Did you know Signal automatically strips EXIF metadata from every image you send? A quick way to "sanitize" a photo before posting it publicly is to forward the picture to your own "note to self" chat—Signal will strip the metadata and give you a clean copy.

   How do you use "note to self"? Share your favorite tricks!
