Hello everyone!
Some time ago, I met a man online, we exchanged phone numbers (he lives abroad - in Saudi Arabia), and we've communicated a lot via WhatsApp and Viber. We shared many photos (some nude but with no faces). I started pulling away because he was becoming weird. He got very angry. And now I'm scared. My question is:
Can this man find me (I gave him a fake first name and a fake last name) with my phone number, my mobile (iPhone 5), or with what we exchanged? I know there are sometimes GPS data on photos, but my iPhone doesn't show a location for the ones sent. Could there still be GPS coordinates even if my iPhone doesn't say so?
Could the man access my phone and see the name of my Apple account (which is my real name)?
Or any risk through WhatsApp or Viber?
The number is registered in my mother's name with Virgin Mobile.
Thank you very much if you can help me.

If the personal data on WhatsApp and Viber is false, that's fine, there’s no risk. He can also hack the account at any time.
As for location, he can't really locate you because he doesn't know your Apple ID; he knows your phone number, but the main info he can get is the operator. After that, since you’ve sent each other photos (sometimes suspicious), he might recognize you on Facebook or elsewhere.

On the other hand, I have never mentioned my identity or address on WhatsApp so what can he do if he hacks?
And if he discovered the carrier I use, what does that mean?
I don't use Facebook, I deleted my account a long time ago, maybe he received photos posted back then but I never put my name on Facebook.
I don't use Instagram or anything else.
