If you love taking photos with your iPhone, you can easily find out where each of them was taken with the help of the Photos app on iOS 7. The app displays the location data of your photos as long as the Location Services on your iPhone’s camera are enabled.
Enable Location Services for Camera
To check if Location Services for the Camera app is enabled, go to Settings > Privacy > Location Services and make sure the Camera slider is green. You also need to ensure that Location Services for your device is turned on when taking photos.
Once you’ve enabled Location Services for the Camera app, your iPhone will tag photos with a location indicating where the photo was taken. To view the location of your photos, open the Photos app and select Moments, Collections, or Years view from the menu. The app will display the location for each batch of photos.
To view a map of the locations where you’ve taken photos, click on the location displayed above each batch of photos. The Photos app will take you to the map view where you can see an overview of your photo locations. Pinch-to-zoom for a more accurate view of your journey.
You can also turn your iPhone into panorama orientation to see a wider view of the locations where you’ve taken photos. That’s it! Now you know how to find out where your iPhone photos were taken.
