Hiya, so quickly wondering wether you have enabled this or not. Obviously it’s not great for privacy, but it also seems very nice to have for image cloud solutions, so that images can be sorted based on location. Are there any good solutions for this? I’d like have it enabled, but also afraid of sharing images with sensitive metadata in them.

Yes of course. Noone has access to the pictures but me. And even if some gov agency would get access to it. And then? It’s historic data. They know where I live, where I work. And then they know that I go out hiking each week. So what? And that’s only if they get access to it. If the locate my phone they have a live position of me. Photos are nothing bad. Hackers? My address is more valuable. Foreign people? Have no access

All valid points, I was more thinking about in the cases of sharing the pictures online - with others. Something I do occasionally at least. But find it a bit tedious to make sure the metadata from those are gone.

Currentl, the best image maps have immich and nextcloud I guess
