Hi, yes the Image widget can sometimes get geotagged photos, but our users are facing a lot of issues with it because the user experience is not consistent. It depends on ODK collect and camera app permissions, camera app support for Location tags, and Android version.
It's not a Collect bug, but it can impact all the Collect users who are making use of the Location tag in images taken with Collect.
In another post, I suggested to improve the Image widget with an option to let users add Location data to photos taken with Collect, independently of the camera app.
And the rotation/scaling code of Collect needs also to be improved (see my post in this thread) as it is currently removing EXIF tags from photos.
Looking forward to get some feedback from users and developers on that.
