Windows 10: Windows Photos app does not display location info

The pictures I take using my Android phone contain location information, which I can see when I view Info in Google Photos.


However, when I open the photos from OneDrive in Windows Photos and select Info, the location data is absent. Is this data not available in Windows Photos?
