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

@carrieseltzer That’s interesting. I wonder what settings I can check to resolved this, as I do not think my equipment and software is that different from yours.

I get this issue with both my iPad and iPhone.

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

I have sceenshots, but this is more a request about the right way to do this rather than a bug report, so I’ll spare everyone that (unless it would be helpful).
