iPhone not showing location in Photo Library

My iPhone used to say at the top where and when my photos were taken. It's stopped doing it over the last couple of weeks, I've not changed anything.


The only exception is when I've taken a photo at home, and then it says "Home" at the top, with all the others saying "Yesterday" or the date they were taken.


The data is there because it's shown on my MBP!!


So, this is what it used to be like:




It now says "Yesterday" or the date the photo was taken:



But it knows where the photo was taken as the location shows up on my MBP:


As I said, I've not changed any settings. Any ideas?


Thank you

iPhone 11 Pro

It is either a new, ill-considered feature of iOS 14 or a bug. Several users reported the same problem. Currently we can only see the location of new photos, when we swipe the photo up, when viewing it enlarged and look below the photo in the Details section below the photo. Photos we have taken before the iOS 14 upgrade are still showing the location in the title, but new photos or newly imported older photos are only showing the date and time in the title.


You may want to let Apple know, that this is is inconvenient. Here is a feedback form: Photos for iOS and iPadOS - Feedback - Apple
