I just realized that the GPS info that is in my original image doesn't synchronize to the web. How can I can achieve this?

Alright, alright... here's the thing. There are two ways to get the image on the phone.

1. "Save copy on device": that's what I used and there's no GPS data saved this way.
2. "Export as..." + "Save image": if you're going that route GPS data gets saved if the settings are correct (include metadata).

In LrM on iOS, both "Export As...." and "Save copy to device" have their own independant export settings, so if you want the GPS data to be exported using either method, then each of the export settings needs to have the "Location Info" option enabled.

I understand the differences, but that is no excuse. The location data should always be sent by default. I know a privacy reason for not including it. LRm should show all of the EXIF data. Not showing it only confuses what is attached to the photo. I love the GPS data because I shoot all over the place, and it is nice to have, but not showing it is annoying. Please add the option to show it in the mobile app. The weird thing is that it shows up in the web version.

My photos show the GPS information when viewed at lightroom.adobe.com. This applies to both the photos taken by my cell phone (which have the GPS automatically added) and taken by by DSLR or mirrorless camera (which have the GPS added in Lightroom Classic).

Is you question about Lightroom (Lr icon) or Lightroom Classic (LrC icon) or something else? Are the photos RAW or DNG or JPG? How are the GPS information applied to the photo?

Thanks for your answer. I just double checked.

You're right. I can see the GPS informaition in Lightroom for Desktop. But I cannot see the information in Lightroom Mobile on my phone. And when I save a copy image in my images on the phone, there's also no GPS information visible. But this is exactly where I need it, because I want to upload the image with its GPS information.

So I guess I have to clarify the title of this posting (if possible).

I don't think you have answered any of my questions.

OK. Here are my answers:

Is you question about Lightroom (Lr icon) or Lightroom Classic (LrC icon) or something else?

It's about images synced from LrC to the cloud. They lack GPS information on my phone in the Lightroom mobile app and after savig them from there to my phones images to upload them in another app that would use the GPS data.

Are the photos RAW or DNG or JPG?

They are JPGs.

How are the GPS information applied to the photo?

Using the Web Module in LrC.
BTW: I've just noted, that images that were taken by my phone (with GPS data) don't show this information in the Lr Mobile app (although they do in the iOS app). Do I miss something?
