Sharing Location Data when Sharing photos via iMessage.

I have seen how to turn off the sharing of the location data each time I share. I have also seen how to make sure my camera doesn't use the location data in the first place. How has Apple not made a setting to choose not sharing the location as a default? Or have they and I cannot find it?

imessage not showing location in satellite view like it did before the new ios17 update Does anyone know how to make shared location (through imessage) satellite view again on ios 17? It used to be through the Find My app, but now that doesn't change it in the imessage app. Even tried toggling it back and forth in the Find My app as well as Maps.

Why do some iPhone photos show location and others don't? Sometimes the location of my iPhone 13 Max Pro is perfect, showing the neighborhood where the photos were taken and the next moment the location is just a generic name of the city like "New York". On Location Services I marked "While Using the App" and "Precise Location" is ON for my camera. Also when I want to adjust the right name of the location, my iPhone doesn't accept what I put there (like Upper West Side) and keeps the generic name from the beginning (New York).

Why i cannot share my live location on WhatsApp Business anymore? Last month i moved from iPhone 12 Pro Max to iPhone 16 Pro. Since then, i am unable to find the “Share Live Location” button on WhatsApp Business, while i can find it on regular WhatsApp. i have followed all of the suggested steps from updating the app, enabling location settings on the device, etc, and nothing seems working. Any idea on how to solve this issue? Thanks
