Location Services on your iPhone lets Apple apps (like the Camera app) and third-party apps (like your banking app) figure out where you're located while using your phone.

This way, you can search through the photos that you took on your vacation to Bora Bora or in your own hometown. Location Services uses Wi-Fi or cellular data plus GPS services to find your location. If you're connected to data or Wi-Fi but your photos aren't being tagged, we have a few simple fixes for you to try. Here's how to get Photos Location Services working again.

In the past, iPhone users had to use a photo caption app to caption their photos. Now, with iOS 14, iPhone photographers can add captions to photos right in the Photos app. If iCloud photo library is enabled, these captions will sync to the cloud and be visible on all Apple devices signed in with the same Apple ID. This also means that we can now do a photo search by caption, as well as an iPhone search by image or by location, as we could with previous operating systems. We've already gone over how to add captions to iPhone photos.
