Geotag on photos not working since iOS 14 upgrade.

Ever since I upgraded to iOS 14, my iPhone does not show the geotag location at the top of each picture. Only the date and time it was taken. My camera settings are correct and my location settings are accurate, but it won’t show the location on the photos. The photos I have that were taken before installing iOS 14 show the location and geotag still. But any picture taken since the upgrade does not show the location.

I was told by Apple when I spoke with them that they are aware of this and they are “actively working on a fix”. I’m in the US. So I don’t know if they are really or they are just saying that as people in other countries are getting different answers. It’s odd that a trillion dollar company can’t seem to get this fixed though.

I have already contacted Apple through Support and have had 2 phone conversations with them and the last guy I was talking to today seemed interested in what I had to say. He promised to sent the case to the engineers and as many people have the same complaint he said they will decide on action but where there are multiple complaints it is usually upgraded to a more serious level and a patch or a fix is applied in a future update ..We will wait and see

definitely a bug - I slightly altered some very old photo locations on my Mac, I'm using iCloud photos and they instantly lost the location info on my iPad whilst the same (airdropped) photos on my wife's iPad stayed correct. Not only that but numerous other photos in the same "vicinity" (ie. taken or imported around the same time) also lost location info on my ipad. This appeared to be random so I checked a lot of other old photos and found that many had also now lost location info. I then airdropped some old photos with correct location info onto my wife's iPad and it had the same effect; those photos did not show location info on my wife's iPad and other photos also lost their location info - I spent months retro-fitting location information onto old scanned and imported photos and now it's gradually disappearing... this is really annoying and unless it's fixed the "new iPad for Christmas" (for both of us) is now looking very doubtful
