Description

For writing exif data, if user has not enabled the Location permission for the Camera app no geotag gets recorded. We can add this to documentation, but will be good to prompt user to enable it if they want the extra information attached to the photos.

Research direction

Review the mobile camera EXIF-writing flow and the Location permission handling described in the issue. Confirm whether the requested prompt applies to Android, iOS, or both, since no platform, file, or test is named. Done should mean the chosen behavior is implemented or documented consistently for users who want geotags.
