Apple devices have always been a great help when it comes to capturing real-life moments. Be it the top-of-the-line camera sensors or equally good onboard image processing, iOS devices have always been at the forefront when it comes to mobile photography.
iOS automatically attaches location and other metadata to your captured photos for easy organization. However, there might be times when you wish to remove or edit this information.
You could only remove and edit this information on a photo-by-photo basis on previous versions of iOS, but iOS 16 now allows you to do the same for multiple photos at once. Let’s get familiar with this new feature.
What can you edit for multiple photos on iOS 16?
You can edit the date and time for multiple photos on your device if you’re running iOS 16 or later. You can also edit the location for various photos which allows you to batch edit your photos accordingly. Changing the date and time can allow you to categorize your memories more easily and find them later based on an important date or event like a birthday.
Location can help you with organizing your memories similarly. Editing your photos’ location can help you quickly find them later, based on where they were taken. You can also decide to remove this information from your photos in case you plan on sharing them with someone.
