SharePoint Online Image metadata extraction stopped working?

In the past in September, we have used below columns to extract picture/image metadata w.r.t location in SharePoint Online: wic_System_GPS_Latitude wic_System_GPS_Longitude It worked brilliantly...

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.

  From my opinion this is a service that deserves additional extensions and not any kind of deprecation. We build several small MAM solutions for our customers, that from now on do not work with SPO anymore. Actually we are evaluating FLOW to re-classify images in SharePoint with EXIF data.
  
  Thanks for the user voice!
