Description
Expected behavior
Location to be excluded by default.
It should be confirmed, but this is probably stripped by the backend by default.
Actual behavior
Location is included by default.
| Picker | Options |
|---|---|
Steps to reproduce the behavior
- Using iOS 17, create a new post
- Insert an Image Block
- Select "Choose from device"
- Observe the "Location is included" message at the bottom of the photo picker
- Select "Options"
- Observe that Location is toggled on
Tested on iPhone 15, iOS 17, Jetpack iOS / WordPress iOS trunk @ 90733d76d56a72c1946cf6e885219d25b079ba0f

Research direction
Start at the iOS photo-picker entry point used by the Image Block's "Choose from device" flow, then reproduce the reported behavior on iOS 17 and determine whether the default Location option is controlled by the app or the backend. Done means Location is excluded by default in the picker while users can still review the Options state.
