### Bug description
I am and have been using the nextcloud Android app for years, last phone i had was a Samsung S 22 Ultra and i changed to a Google Pixel 8 Pro in October.
Moved my apps over and started using it as before only to discover that my GPS position is missing from the EXIF data of the photos when taken with the Pixel 8 Pro.
Doing some testing and manually uploading the photos will keep the GPS position for me, while the automatic upload will remove it.
### Steps to reproduce
1. Mapp photo folder of your phone to your nextcloud folder ( in my case a SMB share )
2. Take a photo - Check that you see the EXIF data and it includes the GPS position in the photo on your phone.
3. Wait for the nextcloud app on Android to upload your photo to your server.
4. Check the properties of the photo uploaded. In my case no GPS position.
5. Open the nextcloud app on Android.
6. Upload the same photo to the server.
7. Check the properties of the photo you manually uploaded. In my case with GPS position.
### Expected behavior
Seeing GPS position in the EXIF data of the photo
