Android documentation (media location permission)
The EXIF data was stripped due to privacy features implemented in the Android OS. Android devices targeting Android 10 (API level 29) and above must declare the ACCESS_MEDIA_LOCATION permission and request it during runtime.
As the permission is classified as DANGEROUS, explicit user concern is required to obtain images without redacting EXIF data.
Permission is requested when the user enters MainActivity
The image EXIF data is retained when shared from within the app and Intent (Share with - Snapdrop)
