import photos on app stripping File meta data

Our client requires GPS info in the meta data of all photos we take. I've done some testing and it appears using the import photos action in the app may be stripping the meta data from the files? If I upload a photo manually it keeps the meta data when downloading but if I upload multiple photos via the import action option on the mobile app they appear to be missing when we download. Could you investigate please or confirm a workaround?
