Can a Recipient of a Photo in an iPhone Text See the Metadata

Can the recipient of a photo attached to an iPhone text see the metadata, particularly the location associated with a photo taken on that phone?

I am baiting a fraudulent transaction phishing scammer from way back in December. I haven’t heard from him since then so I sent him a random picture of a horse I took before he ever texted me. Of course, the picture was taken no where near where I am staying. He does have my phone number obviously, but almost all the time they trace it to someone who had this number before I did. I think I got him a little stirred up with one text today when I said, “Don’t act like you don’t know me. I got the test results back. They were positive!”

Yes. It is possible.

I can view the metadata just fine on photos I took but I haven’t figured out how to do it on a photo that someone sent to me in a text.

From Google (bolding mine):

…you can view photo metadata, including the date and time the photo was taken, and potentially location data (if enabled), on an iPhone after saving a photo received in a text message by going to the Photos app, opening the photo, and swiping up or tapping the “i” button

Thanks. Got it. I was at first confused by the iCloud propaganda in the process. I know that I can edit the metadata. This could be fun.
