Anyway, if you think the web should have a way to get the *full* photo a user uploaded - including geolocation metadata - please leave a 👍 reaction on this request → https://github.com/whatwg/html/issues/11724#issuecomment-4192228562

I've also raised a bug with Firefox. Android has a specific permission which will allow the browser to access the *full* location metadata of a photo.

Not sure if it is worth raising bugs for Chrome and Samsung as well. Can't easily test them. If someone else wants to - please go ahead!
@Edent It feels like some context got lost in this thread. At first you talk about your frustration that geodata gets stripped, then you open a bug about geodata being shared? What am I missing?
@fallbackerik the geodata gets stripped. I opened a request to FF stop that from happening.
