Honest question, I don’t know the iOS APIs very well, can they (if you have given the app permission before) check geotags on your photos without you explicitly uploading that photo?

I believe if you give access to "Photos" on the device, they can. Otherwise by giving GPS/Location permission - no. They are two separate things.
