How to change a photo's location on iPhone
Updated · By the Geovo team
Open the photo in the Photos app, tap More, then Adjust Location, and pick a new place. It's free and built into iOS, and you can undo it with Revert. It changes only the location saved on that photo, not your iPhone's location.
How do you change the location on one photo?
- Open the photo or video in Photos.
- Tap More, then Adjust Location. On some iOS versions you tap Adjust Info first.
- Type the place in the text field, then tap it under Map Locations.
How do you change several photos at once?
In your library, tap Select, tap the photos you want, and follow the same steps from the More menu.
How do you undo it?
Open the photo, tap More, then Adjust Location, and tap Revert. The photo goes back to its original location.
Apple's own steps: see photo and video information on iPhone. Menu names vary a little between iOS versions.
Does this change where my iPhone is?
No. It edits the saved information on that photo. Your iPhone's GPS, what apps see and new photos all stay the same. To change the GPS position apps read, see how to change location on iPhone.
