*sigh*

Looks like Android is stripping GPS EXIF from photos whenever they're shared.

Affects QuickShare / Bluetooth - https://issuetracker.google.com/issues/485307531
And the web photo picker - https://issuetracker.google.com/issues/40287342

Basically the only way to get geolocation is using USB transfer.

Like, I get the privacy aspect, but it is so annoying to explain to users of @openbenches that they can't upload via the mobile website any more.

@Edent @openbenches That seems to be talking about Android 14 already. But I don't think it's the Android *OS* that does the stripping, as even with Android 15 I managed to add https://openbenches.org/bench/42085

Though I'm on a Fairphone 5 (with stock Android), and I used Firefox.

Would you like me to try Chrome to see if that's the problem?
