Location data lost

[Marko39000111yw1s]

Hi there,

Currently I'm using Lightroom Mobile to edit my pictures on the go. However, when I do some changes and save the file on my the smartphone, some data gets lost. I can't see where the pictures are taken, unless I open the original file. But the edited picture doesn't consist the data. While some don't find this important, I really want to be able to see where I took the picture so I'm able to retrace my steps. Is it possible to overcome this issue?? Let me know. Thank you all

Hey, @Marko39000111yw1s. Welcome to the Lightroom Community. I'll help you get started with this.

In Lightroom, by default, the GPS/location info is not included when you export images. Once you edit the photos, you can choose to keep the location info included in your exports in the Export As > More options > Location info. 

I hope this helps. Thanks!

@Sameer K, thank you for your help! After some searching I found the option to export the location data.  Now I can replace the edited pictures on my phone for the orginals ones without losing data. Great help 🙂
