Am I doing something wrong? (Website uploader does not grab date/location info)

This is for iNat website not reading GPS nor data/time metadata:

iPad (Pro 4th gen), iOS 14.4.2, Safari
IPhone 11 (Pro Max), iOS 14.4.2, Safari

So, what I experience (more or less):

  • Hit Upload icon
  • Click Choose files
  • Choose Photo Library
  • Select a Photo
  • Click Add
  • The observation data fields appear
  • See the “Adding Metadata’ message briefly
  • (But Date/location fields remain blank)
  • Then click Species Name
  • Choose CV or type a name
  • Manually add date/time
  • Manually navigate through Worldwide map to the location area
  • Click Update

Also, I compared my iPhone settings with @carrieseltzer (thank you, Carrie!) and they seem to be the same.

While I do have a more detailed video screenshot I could send, here are some static screenshots to give some of the picture:



(I had to add the date manually with the calendar icon and the location with the map utility)
