@kallekn @technology @pluralistic @samuel Google Photos is the default gallery app on Google Phones.
If a photo is not taken with your phone, Google Photos allows you to manually enter a location.
Google Photos also allows you to remove this location.
If a photo is taken with your phone, the icon to edit or remove the location is greyed out.
Tapping the information will produce an error message.
The ability to edit the location data of photos you'd taken used to be there, but has been removed. I'm not the only person to notice this, there's a support thread about it on Google's own website: https://support.google.com/photos/thread/110092925/regression-location-no-longer-editable-if-the-camera-added-it?hl=en
Can you turn off location in the camera app? Because that's what most people do. Who has location on their pictures turned on and then removes the location individually from photos in the gallery app??
