Is there a good android app for librephotos (or any other application) that offers similar features than Google Photos? A while ago I tried adding photos to my nextcloud instance, but the nextcloud app in my opinion is very rudimentary. I really missed face grouping, location search, the year based scrollbar, etc.

Google Photos also uses other means to add location metadata to photos, if you have Google Maps Timeline enabled that logs your location, and you've uploaded photos from another camera (e.g. DSLR), it will assume, based on the timestamps, that photos were taken at the location your phone says you were at that time. Sadly I doubt librephotos has that integration.

Hmm, one could take out one's Google Maps Timeline info as JSON, and write a parser for librephotos (or others) that adds the location metadata into the photos.
