How to edit the date, time, or location of photos in iOS 15

Apple’s latest software update iOS 15 features the ability to edit and change the date, time, or location of photos and videos you have taken on your iPhone. Prior to the introduction of iOS 15, users would have to sync their images to a computer or laptop to use the Photos app or third-party software to adit the EXIF data of their photos or videos.

While this feature is not one you would use every day, it is certainly helpful for making sure the content in your Photos library is organized for usability and sharing. Here is a simple guide you can follow to learn how to edit the date, time, or location of photos on iPhone.
