Seems to be quite simple, an App which wants to access this info just needs to set the permission for it.

Chrome doesn't seem to request that permission, so the OS doesn't provide the location-data to the app.

If your app targets Android 10 (API level 29) or higher and needs to retrieve unredacted EXIF metadata from photos, you need to declare the ACCESS_MEDIA_LOCATION permission in your app's manifest, then request this permission at runtime.
