How to Take a Geotag Photo in iPhone

Geotagging allows you to record your location information on photos and videos. This information is embedded in the photo’s EXIF data.

You can easily disable this feature on your iPhone by going to Settings and navigating to Privacy > Location Services. From here, you can set it to Never.

The good news is that you can still geotag photos even if your camera has no GPS. All you need is a piece of software called Aperture 3.5.

Go to Settings

Geotagging is a feature that allows the iPhone to record location information on photos and videos that are taken with the camera. This data is saved as EXIF metadata in the image files themselves. It can be helpful for organizing and sharing content, but some people are concerned about privacy and don’t want to have their location tracked.

iOS 15 and later include a way to remove location tags from photos and videos before sharing them. To do so, open the share sheet and tap “Options.” Then toggle the "Location" switch off before sending your content to prevent your location from being recorded.

Another option is to use a free app called Geotag Photos Pro, which works by recording the trip location on your phone and then importing that data to a desktop photo editor like Lightroom or Aperture. The app also allows you to export the records as GPX files for further use. However, it should be noted that using GPS apps can drain your battery quickly.

Open Camera

Unless you’ve disabled it, your iPhone automatically adds your location to pictures and videos it takes with the built-in Camera app. The information, known as geotag data, is embedded in the EXIF metadata (exchangeable image file format) stored with each media item.

You can enable or disable location services for any apps on your device, including the Camera app, in Settings. To turn it off, select Camera and then tap Never.

Leaving location services enabled for the Camera app can make it easy for strangers across the Internet to trace your photos back to your home or work. To protect your privacy, turn this setting off before sharing any photos online.

Tap the Info button

Many people own an iPhone, which is a powerful gadget that can capture amazing photos. However, when people look back at these pictures, they often wish they could know where the photos were taken. This is where geotagging comes in handy. It is a feature that adds latitude and longitude information to the photos’ metadata.

If you’re using a camera with location services turned on, every photo you take will be geotagged by default. But what if you don’t want this feature to be active? It’s easy enough to prevent it.

To do this, go to Settings and turn off “Location Services.” You should also make sure that other apps don’t save location data on your phone. This is important to avoid privacy issues. Another way to do this is by downloading an app like Geotag Photos Pro, which can help you create a list of trip photos with accurate locations and remove location data from existing photos.

Tap Location Services

By default, iOS automatically adds your current location to photos and videos taken with the Camera app. This helps apps like Maps and the Compass find your position, as well as enabling features like geo tagging.

To stop this from happening, change the "Location Services" option to "Never" in the Settings app. This doesn't remove the location data from already-taken photos, but it prevents new photos from storing their location.

A free iPhone app called Photo Footprint lets you view and edit the location information in your existing photos. It will also automatically generate a photo diary/journal based on all your photos and display them on the map so you can see where you've been.
