    I’m wondering how much of this is the gallery software on the phone maintaining its own metadata database rather than writing that info to the file using any of the industry recognized formats (EXIF, IPTC, XMP). I’ve been building a library of old family photos, and the number of apps that do this is shocking. Most, if not all, don’t even have a mechanism to write it to the photo or even export the MD to a file. I had to look around to find a good library app that actually managed the photo metadata properly, and that wasn’t Lightroom (because screw Adobe and their greedy subscription model)!

    FWIW, I’m on Mac, and am liking MetaImage & NeoFinder.
