I have location data on my photos, but when they are uploaded to somewhere, eg Immich, the location data is lost. I’ve tried uploading using a couple different apps, both with the same results.

Anyone know why this data might be getting stripped?

Update: It’s not that the image location data was getting stripped, it was just only present on some pics and I couldn’t figure out why. Turns out if I open maps and my phone gets a GPS lock, the image location works fine. Just need to figure out why I need maps open and why photos can’t do this

    i’m not familiar with immich but i know many websites strip metadata automatically to prevent people from unintentionally doxing themselves

      I was previously uploading to Immich on iOS and it was working perfectly. Something about the GraphemeOS flow is different
