View EXIF metadata for photos on iPhone and iPad
Can I view image metadata even if iOS 15 isn’t running on my iPhone or iPad? Yes, I can! Thanks to a convenient workaround, you can find EXIF data for iOS 14 and earlier photos. Alternatively, you need to use the Apple Files app on your iPhone or iPad. The stock file manager app has been on iOS for several years (iOS 11 and above), so this hack can also be used on older devices such as the iPhone 5S and iPad mini 2. With that in mind, let’s get started!
Method 1: View metadata using the Photos app on iOS 15 and iPad OS 15
- Start Photo app On your iPhone or iPad.
2. Then select image From your photo library and tap small “I” information button It’s at the bottom.
3. You should now see the EXIF data for your image in the section just below the date and time. You’ll see various details such as the device used to capture the image, camera settings, location, and more.
4. Tap to fine-tune the date and time of the iPhone image. Adjustment And do what you need to do.Finally, be sure to tap Adjustment Save your changes in the upper right corner again.
Method 2: Check the EXIF metadata of the image using the File app
The process of viewing EXIF metadata for a photo in the Files app on iPhone and iPad is not as easy as in the Photos app, but the former displays more detail than the latter. So if you’re a professional or up-and-coming photographer and like to check out image details to take advantage of your strengths, I recommend going to Stock File Manager. Here’s how to access image metadata using the Apple Files app in stock:
- Start Photo app With your device Please select an image Metadata to display.Then tap Share button Select in the lower left corner of the screen Save to file With a shared sheet.

As you can see in the screenshot above, the Stock File Manager app shows details such as aperture value, metering mode, white balance, content creator and more. The details displayed in the Photos app are inferior to those in the File app. Therefore, if you want to see more detailed information about your photos, the File app is a better choice.
4. When you see the photo metadata, tap the end It ends in the upper right corner of the screen.
Easily check iPhone and iPad image metadata
That’s all. Here’s how to dive into the photo metadata details of your iPhone or iPad. I prefer to use the Files app, but welcome the addition of a built-in tool for checking EXIF metadata directly from the Photos app. Native tools make the process much easier.
