What phone do you have? Some phones are known for removing gps metadata if Immich doesn't have Location permissions, but I've never heard about other metadata being removed.

Meizu 21 pro, This is a Chinese brand phone, I'm not sure what impact the local hardware will have on the upload process. The EXIF ​​information of these photos can be read normally in the photo album that comes with the mobile phone system.

Immich uploads files completely untouched, so if data is missing, it’s most likely being stripped by the phone before/when Immich can access the file.

Is it because the Immich software on my phone does not have permission to read the exif information? I don’t know where this permission should be managed. The system shows that the read permission for photos and videos is already turned on.

I know the reason.
There is a privacy protection function in the mobile phone that will erase the exif related information when the application reads it, causing the information to be lost when uploading.
After turning off this function, everything is normal

@charlieshen7 can you share where you can turn off this exif-stripping function, how is it called / where is it located ?
