iPhone Photo Metadata
Did you know that when you take a picture with the iPhone, it's loaded with hidden data? In them you can find out what devices were used, if flash was used, the camera used to do it, the day, time, exposure time and even the coordinates of the place where it was done. One of our iOS tutorials that we recommend you read.
The truth is that we hallucinate when we see all the information that each image that we have on our reel has, but how do we access this hidden data? We are going to explain how to do it.
How to View iPhone Photo Metadata:

- Access the camera roll and click on the photo for which you want to know all the information it saves.
- Once we have it on the screen, click on the share button (square with an arrow pointing up) and click on the "Save to Files" option.
- We select the folder where we will save the image. It is very important to be clear about the location of the photo so that you can then go directly to the folder where this photo is.
- Access the Files app and go to the folder where the photo is located.
- From the screen where we see it, without clicking on the photo to see it larger, click on it until the following menu appears, where we will select the option "Obtain information".
In iOS 15 click on "Get information"
