iOS 15 Photos App Now Displays EXIF Metadata for Images

As a newbie to iOS I didn’t know this was a thing until yesterday when I was looking to strip some location data from a picture before sending it off. Just took it for granted based on past experience that it would be there.
Hoepfully it will also include the ability to strip the data as well.

You should be able to strip the data under options when you select the photo from the share button.
It’s still a useless measure as it will even differ from one iPhone to the next. So in order to get a useful value… You don’t need just math skills… but you need to know the crop factor… which most people won’t know. THAT is the issue.
This feature is more than a decade overdue, about time.
I can't believe it took this long to get here. Why they never did this from the start is a mystery. Seeing the camera settings metadata is one thing but I've always wanted to be able to edit metadata and photo filenames right in the Photos app on the phone but always had to resort to 3rd party apps which is less than ideal. Sometimes you just want to add a few names or other relevant info to some pics shortly after taking them. I would totally use that ability especially when travelling.
Yes, but you can’t view it inline in the Photos app, which is what this article is specifically reporting on. I could use the Files app to view it in iOS 13, but not the Photos app. 🙂
It would be great to have an option to keep the EXIF intact on uploading through web pages. I haven't had any luck with that. All metadata is removed on upload. Have I missed something?
13 years late is better than never I guess but....Geeeez.
Stay tuned a decade from now when we can finally name photos.

I hope this feature allows me to select multiple photos and change their dates at once.
I have many old photos which I need to adjust the dates and sometimes time due to time difference across countries.
Gave up on during so in Metapho (1 at a time) and have been using photos on Mac to do this effectively as a batch edit. This is one big reason why I keep going back to Mac to organise my photos.

I can see a Location icon in the second screenshot. I wonder if by clicking that I can add a location to a photo. Instead of having to do that with Mac.
I would like to know this too. I actually like applying locations when friends send me photos stripped of EXIF data.
