I don’t think that’s a sufficient fix though. E.g. many people may enable location sharing to messenger for legitimate uses like meeting up with friends in public places, and for a “15m of location shared to friend” feature they would need to turn location sharing up to at least the “allow while app is running” setting, but people doing that would surely not also intend for the app to also get the location of every photo they send to their friends (including photos that the OS(?) automatically tags with the current location when they are saved)

I'm not a privacy engineer, but the way I would expect it to work is that if you turn on location sharing for "while the app is running", then the app should get EXIF location data only for pictures you take while the app is running.
