I received texted photos that I don't think represents what the sender was saying. I e-mailed them to myself and tried getting the metadata that way, but it just showed my phone information. Is there any way to get the original metadata from a texted image. iPhone 14 Pro Max in case it matters) Thanks Nerdery.

I'm no expert, but what I'd do is save the image to Photos on my phone, and then click on the info button for each image to see what was included, if anything.

Have you told the person you think they are lying about their location?

That worked on one of the pictures, but not the other one. It said "No camera information." I also ran a google search for the image in case he pulled it from the Internet, but got no matches. Thanks for the advice.
