It's a bit hair-pulling that Android now has a filter between the file system and app, that when an app asks for a JPEG file from the filesystem, the filter strips the EXIF. Yes, it's because as Douglas Adams observed, the universe is busy making more and more idiots (for example Zuck's zucking apps might not have location permissions but it can scan the EXIF GPS tags of all your images to determine where you've been), and the solution to that is also idiocy.
