Good day!  When reviewing the details of the photo location on photos I only see the city/town, NOT the exact street address and town I have become accustomed to seeing on my other phones and my wife's current S23. 

I have checked every setting I am aware of to ensure the settings are set for precise location and all other permissions are on and they all appear to be in order.   I have matched the settings to my wife's phone which is working and she gets the precise location right down to the exact street number.   

I have also run a GPS Signal test and it reports back as "Normal" and the compass reports "high-accuracy".

I have also visited three different T-Mobile and one Best Buy. store and they have checked my settings are correct and are perplexed as well/  

Is anyone else experiencing this or if you did have you found a resolution? 

The update issued today did not resolve this.

Thank you All

Bill

@Billm1 This has been mentioned before in this discussion area. I suggest that you submit an error report using the Samsung Members app.

I assume that this is a privacy issue that Samsung has dealt with by removing the exact street address location.

That would be incredibly dumb if that was the case.

If a user wants exact location data for their photos, they should be given it.

EXIF data is stripped by nearly every social media platform anyways.

If a user was concerned about personal privacy, they would surely not enable the feature.

Well, then Samsung has done some 'incredibly dumb' things to come into line with EU security and privacy regulations.

And don't get me started with the B/P feature on the any of the Samsung watches in the US, which is actually more about FDA approval, than it is privacy.

I did a quick check on the internet and read some information that indicated that it may not be Samsung that is restricting exif information, as Samsung's website states that it should be your choice in what you share, and that it might actually be the security software that you're using that is limiting the information.

Thank you. I would hope they did not. This should be the end-users choice as others have pointed out. I will check security software as well

I can see how this information would be very important to the real estate and insurance agencies, and other professions.

I wish you the best of luck with your issue. Please post again here if you find a resolution to help other Samsung users.
