On my Pixel 9 Pro Fold (Android 16) and Oppo Find X3 Pro (Android 13), when I opened a photo in the Google Photos app and selected Share → Bluetooth, the GPS location was stripped. What app did you share from?

However, I confirmed that the GPS location remains when sharing an image file that isn't stored in the MediaStore (for example, placed in the same directory as a .nomedia file). In this case, only the Share button is displayed at the bottom of the Photos app, and the shared URI is not `content://com.google.android.apps.photos.contentprovider/0/1/content://media/...` but like `content://com.google.android.apps.photos.contentprovider/-1/1/file:///data/...`. You can check the URI by sharing to Intent Intercept app on F-Droid.
