If not, then how can 1 remove them automatically when sending them
through messaging (e.g., SMS & MMS)?
Thank you in advance. :)

right now.
I did look at a few SMS messages, however, and they do not have EXIF
data. Of course, they came from non-iPhone users and I am not sure if
they are cell phone pictures or not.

I took a photo with my iPhone 5S and sent it to my step-daughter via
iMessage. A check shows that with iMessage the EXIF is retained:

As to what metadata is retained when sent via SMS or email, I haven’t
checked on that.

Yes, we knew that. The question is, is the exif data retained in SMS

SMS is only text. EXIF data is lost when a picture is sent via MMS. The
photos are compressed and the EXIF data is lost.
