It's interesting that Android is actually ahead of iOS on this, as simonw pointed out, iOS still doesn't strip location data from photos uploaded via web forms. This should be the default on both platforms. Most people have no idea they're attaching exact GPS coordinates to every photo they share, and the safety implications alone (stalking, doxxing) make it worth the tradeoff for the small number of use cases that rely on it.

I have a MacBook and honestly barely use it anymore partly because of this. The front edge digs into my wrists after any extended session. It surprises me from Apple — a company known for obsessing over every detail of the user experience. Do they not test these things for hours of actual use? It's the kind of thing that seems like it would get caught immediately in any real-world usability testing.
