Is it true people can find my phone/location just from the amount of pixels on the photo I take and post?
If I crop it on my phone, will that make it untraceable?
Everybody keeps asking for pics of my feet and I'm scared.

>amount of pixels
no
but the image file from your phone's camera isn't just pixels. it also contains "metadata" which often includes shit like the date or GPS location the photo was taken at
I know there are ways to remove this metadata but I don't know exactly how

Look up and read about "EXIF data." It's easier than explaining it to you.

I find that a good way to clear the data is to resave the image in another file format.
