This article will show you how to find GPS information of Photos on iOS Device. On macOS Sierra and iOS, Apple’s Photos app lets you view photos on a map and look for photos based on where they were taken. However, your photos won’t be included if they don’t have location data attached to them. When an iPhone takes a picture, it stores this information, but most remote cameras can’t do this by default.

Photos makes it easy to find pictures in your library that don’t have location information, so you can map out all your shots. Have you ever wished you could see all of your geotagged pictures on a map? With the Photos app of iPhone, iPad and Mac OS, you can do just that by getting a handy map of all images with geotagging and GPS data. Each image is shown on a nice map that you can move around.
For some background, if an image is geotagged, it will have embedded GPS metadata saved with the picture file to keep track of exactly where a photo was taken. Many people who care about privacy don’t like geotagged pictures, especially if the pictures are shared on the internet, social networks, social media, or any other service that a lot of people can see. However, some users may find it useful to know exactly where an image was taken.
