SharePoint Online Image metadata extraction stopped working?
Totally agree with that.
A picture gallery has to support exif and iptc metadata such as "date taken", GPS Information, title etc. to enable the professional user to benefit of it. A picture Gallery without this functionality doesn't make much sense. The value is all about the content.
We appreciate Microsoft to take care of ist customers needs and hope this issue will be solved quickly.
We have dozens of facility project libraries with thousands of documentation photos that must have date picture taken to be of any use. We'd be grateful if this can be repaired quickly.
From my support ticket with MS, this feature isn't broken, it has been deprecated.
To reinstate the automatic EXIF parsing for pictures/videos feature, we would need to contact MS Support individually to bother them, or create a request on the UserVoice site and gain other user support.
I have created a uservoice suggestion to bring it back. Please VOTE!!! If we don't have at least 100 votes within 30 days the suggestion gets dropped.

Done!
Hopefully, they'll listen. Being able to bring the GPS coordinates was really useful, but a media library that won't sort by date taken is worthless if you ask me.
