Have you ever wanted to see or add a timestamp on your iPhone photos? Whether for memories, organization, or legal documentation, timestamps help track when a photo was taken. While iPhones don’t display timestamps directly on images, there are several ways to view, edit, and add them. In this guide, we’ll explore how to access timestamps, use third-party apps, and even customize date and time details on your iPhone photos.
How to View Timestamps on iPhone Photos App
Every photo taken on an iPhone stores a timestamp in its EXIF metadata. To check the timestamp:
- Open the Photos app on your iPhone.
- Select a photo and swipe up.
- You’ll see the date, time, and location details (if enabled).
This method helps you view timestamps but doesn’t overlay them on the image.
