It seems like one of the latest Android updates has introduced a "privacy feature" that strips the geo-location from photos uploaded through a mobile browser like chrome or firefox. A similar issue was around for a couple of years in iOS https://stackoverflow.com/questions/57942150/file-upload-and-exif-in-mobile-safari

Are there any known workarounds to get access to the geo-location through the mobile browser? I know that for a while using type="file" on the input field opened a different file picker where this issue could be circumvented, but this has been restricted as well.
