Photo Time Stamp ! (iPhone, IPad )
Towanda Tuning
Is there a way to keep the date and time to NOT show on the lower right hand corner of a photo? The date and time stamp appear automatically ON every photo, regardless of camera. I don't want to delete this info from Meta data. I just want to remove it from the face of the photo. This has been happening since the last iOS update.
Can you please confirm the iOS version you are running and if you are using the native Apple Camera app and Photos app on your iPhone? Neither one of these has a date-stamp feature. When you look at the open apps on your iPhone, is there another photo app that might be affecting this? Try closing all of your open apps and restarting your iPhone. Take a picture with the Camera app, then open Photos and let us know if you see a time-stamp on the photo.
Hi - I am compiling photos from a family reunion. 14 people will be uploading photos. I would like the date-time stamp of when they were taken to be preserved, so all photos from all people are organized in date-time order. Is this possible? When I just uploaded several of my photos as a test, the date-time listed is that of the upload, not of the date-time taken. I am on a Mac desktop using the web version of Dropbox, but most of my family will be uploading directly from their iPhone or Android devices, so I hope to send them a link for uploading. Thanks.
When using the Dropbox application installed on a computer and placing the files in the local Dropbox folder to sync, the date and time stamps are preserved. If you're uploading through the Dropbox website, the file is being newly created on the Dropbox servers so it gets a new creation date and time. There's no way to change this.
Thank you for this response. Could you recommend which DropBox app(s) to download for iPhone, Android and Mac ios? Since I have multiple people with different types of devices, I want to be sure I am telling them the right one to use. And a related question - if I share the folder with them, will they see it via the app and will be able to transfer their photo files, rather than upload them?

Jay - thank you! I did not know about File Requests. Just tried it out and it might work well for me. I should select File Automation/Set Naming Conventions and select Date Captured, right? And should I check this below it? "You can check the box next to Replace with existing dates detected in filenames, or change the date format with the dropdown." Since not all the files I upload will have the date in them, should I leave that check blank? Thank you.
Sometimes I took a photo using my iPhone, and then later on, I wonder how long I have been there at that location, I thought of checking when the last photo was taken, and can tell the time when I arrived, but I found it wasn't easily possible to see what time the photo was taken.
Is there really a way to see the time that photo was taken, be it 1 hour and 20 minutes ago, without using any third party app and without importing the photo to a computer? I thought this might be a simple photo info thing that might be invoked by some easy way?
Camera roll and Photo stream are part of the Library, so you should be good to go. You can get the above screen by tapping the i with the rectangle to bring up the information for photos stored in the library.
You are not missing anything, the iPhone has no mechanism to see that information natively. However, if you search for EXIF on the App Store, there are a few (some free) apps that will happily do that in the device itself.
As on iOS 11.0 or later, You can view time stamp of photo within Apple's Photos App without Third party Apps.Note that, if it doesn't display the Year, that photo was shot on same year.
Open the app and go to the camera roll. Tap the plus button and import the photo you want to view date information for. Select that photo and tap the (i) button. The date and time the photo was taken will be displayed, as well as lots of other useful details.
If you want to see what time it was taken without an app, you could simply open the image on a computer using a notepad program of some sort. The time and date will often be within the first few lines of code.
Instead of looking on App Store for EXIF, also search for term 'metadata'... there is a free app named 'Photo Metadata Viewer' from Boxo (??) that dumps this info to screen for fairly easy reading. NOT fancy, but free.
Some other camera apps give access to EXIF data. Camera+, for example, has an info button in its lightbox picture-viewer which shows EXIF data and even shows a map detailing where that picture was taken.
Note this is helpful even if you're looking for EXIF data in photos taken with standard iOS photo services, embedded in some other app, as Camera+ can import images from the iPhone's standard Camera Roll.
Another third party solution (of which I feel obliged to confess I created) is Photo Timestamps. It's an elegant solution to this problem- it displays your photos in a 3 photo grid with the timestamp displayed over the photo's thumbnail
Date and Time Stamps on photos are not a new feature or concept. Even the yesteryears roll films featured time and date stamps. Unfortunately, iPhone still lacks a native or built-in timestamp for photos. It is fairly easy to add and edit date stamps on iPhone photos.
Date and Time Stamp help us relive our memory and connect the dots between pictures. You can check the date several years from now without opening the picture settings. The direct date stamp is super useful when viewing images outside iPhone, such as a SmartTV.
The best way to add date stamps for photos is via third-party apps. We have tested multiple apps and, in the end, shortlisted two of them. Photomarks app is the best choice if you are looking beyond Date/Time stamping. You get features like batch watermark and text. However, DateStamper is a better alternative as it is free to use and offers basic set of features.
All the pictures on your camera roll contain location information. It is very helpful to recall where you have taken the particular image. Sometimes, iOS captures incorrect location information. It could be due to reasons like connectivity issues and GPS glitches. When this happens, you can manually change the image location by following the steps below-
For aesthetics or practical reasons, you can put a timestamp over your photos to make it clear when it was taken. In this tutorial, we will show you how to quickly add the current date and time over your pictures or use a camera app that automatically adds a timestamp over the photos it takes.
If you recall, digital cameras we used before the popularity of smartphones would usually add a small orange or yellow timestamp in a corner of the pictures you took with it. It served well to inform when the image was shot.
We have a dedicated tutorial showing you multiple ways to add a text-based or image-based watermaker to your photos from your iPhone. You can use the text-based methods and add the date and time, which will serve as the timestamp. In addition to that, you can use this handy app to quickly put the date and time over your photo.
5) You will see the current date and time automatically added over the image. Optionally, you can use the keyboard to change this time and date. Next, drag the timestamp to an appropriate spot on the image and adjust its size using the two-finger pinch-in and pinch-out gestures. You can also edit the color, fonts, and a few other things using the options in the bottom row.
Additionally, it will show you an alert to access your location, and if you allow that, it can also stamp your current location over the image, which you can remove by going to Location and choosing the none tile.
4) Tap Date from the bottom to pick another style. A few of them also display the time. You can further tap the settings icon to customize it. In my tests, I could use the Pro styles even without making a payment.
4) However, if you want to customize the timestamp style, tap the clock icon and choose a position, format, font, opacity, etc. You can even display the compass data, altitude, speed, and map over your image. The options here are super handy, so make sure you spend a minute exploring everything. Remember to tap Done to save the changes.
iOS won't let you add a date and time stamp directly to your photos. But, there is a record of when you took each image on your iPhone. This Date & Time is automatically embedded in each image you capture. While you can't add the date and time to the photo, you can adjust it. Note: This works for iOS 15 or later.Here's what to do:
