Photos shared album: no location
Although I checked the box in Photos preferences to include location in shared photos, the photos in the shared album do not, in fact, include location.

Hey there TylerTruthful,
To help issues with photos metadata, like location information, we can suggest the following steps to help isolate and begin troubleshooting:
- If you have not already, quit the Photos app: Quit apps on Mac - Apple Support and restart your Mac: Shut down or restart your Mac - Apple Support. Restarting everything often resolves a variety of issues.
- Check if the issue occurs for all photos that are shared, or just some. This will help narrow down whether the issue might be with the Photos app itself, or specific photos.
- See if the issue occurs when sharing the photos from a different user account by creating a new, test user: New user or group setup on Mac - Apple Support. This will tell us if there's something specific in your user account that is stopping the location from sharing.
Don't hesitate to respond back if you still need help.
Thanks for visiting the Apple Support Communities.
Cheers!
