What is the best way for sharing native iPhone photos between iPhone users?

What is the best way for sharing native iPhone photos between iPhone users when:

  • You don't want to lose any photo metadata in the iPhone photos?

and

  • You want the iPhone photos to show up in your camera roll ordered correctly at the time they were taken? (I thought airdrop did this, but it does not).


Thanks in advance!

The best way I have found to share "original" iPhone photos/videos with others is to click the share button, then click "Options" and select "iCloud Link" and "All Photos Data". These settings preserve the quality and metadata of the original photo/video. When the photos/videos are saved by the person you shared them with, they will order correctly by "Date Taken" in their Photos app. Is there any better way?
