The bug

When using the map feature today i noticed that at some point in August 2024 Immich stopped uploading / recognizing the location a picture was taken. All the photos before August 2024 have location data, show up in the map etc. and all pictures after that don't have any.
The Immich App has all the permissions necessary: Photos and videos, Location (all the Time), background permissions etc.
I did not switch phones or reinstall the app at that time.
Is there a way to reenable this feature / add the missing data to all pictures missing it?
Would be very greatful as i love the feature of seeing where i took the pictures when traveling.

I have seen people discussing similar issues before, for example in https://github.com/immich-app/immich/issues/18457 or https://github.com/immich-app/immich/discussions/21723. The proposed solution of just enabling the permission is not viable for my case however.

If you copy a file off your phone manually and inspect it with exiftool, do you find location metadata on that?

No i did not actually, it was completely my fault. Seems like it was disabled by an update of the samsung camera app and i just didn't realise. Thank you for your help!

Unfortunately, I have this issue as well. In Google Photos my image has all the EXIF data, but when it was uploaded through the Immich app it lost all its metadata except for the time of the picture. Galaxy S23 user and all permissions granted.
