Geotag on photos not working since iOS 14 upgrade.

I talked with Apple Support and this issue is now fixed on my IPhone 11 Pro, OS 14.01

You have to go into Privacy again, and then toggle the Location off and then back on. Then the camera icon will now appear under Privacy, so then click on Camera, then select allow location while using device. That fixed it. Before the Camera icon wasn't appearing under Privacy. So, toggling location off and then on again somehow reset it.

I had the exactly the same issue and I fixed it by resetting location and privacy settings (go to Settings-General-Reset).

After that, I opened the Camera app and it asked for the location permission and location is now set

I am now on iOS 14.4.2 using a iPhone 12 Pro Max and my geotags are really periodic. Interesting note, every photo captures a location, but for some unknown reason the iPhone will not convert it to a geotag. It is missing the location details that is just below the location map. The only way I have found to force the iPhone to convert the missing location data is to plug it into power in the locked position and literally wait about 90-120 minutes and eventually the missing data appears along with a geotag.

Needless to say this is ultra annoying. Steps I have done to try to remedy this is to reset location and privacy settings, reset network settings and at last resort, reset all settings of which none do anything to force the iPhone to produce the missing location data and is supposed to appear under the location map.

Apple really needs to address this! This whole mess started immediately upon the iOS 14 upgrade when I had a iPhone 11 Pro Max and still is happening with a new iPhone 12 Pro Max. What are you going to do about this, Apple??

Once I shut my phone off for 3 minutes and restarted it 14.02 fixed the problem. My photos are now labeled at the top with the location for each picture including old ones that weren’t labeled before

I have same problem, a map below new images no longer is displayed with address. under "settings" "privacy" "location services" "camera" "while using app" should be checked. and Precise location should be turned on.....with those changes i took a pic and now the map is back below the new image with the exact location (at home, will try again once i leave). However the location is not displayed at the top header of the image.

Hope they get it right because all I did was download IOS 14.2 on my 11 Pro Max, shutdown for about 3+ minutes, reboot and they started Geo tagging and labeling the location. First I made sure all my tagging was set as per the above notes (camera and location settings) and viola, it started working. Hope you get there because it is frustrating.

I was facing the same issue after restoring Iphone 12 with Iphone XR backup. Iphone XR was on ios 13 while Iphone 12 was on ios 14.2.1. Old photo showing geotag in XR but not in 12. New photo taken by iphone 12 experienced the same thing. Updated to ios 14.3 didn't help. Apple support suggested me to lock phone, connect to power and high speed internet for at least 72 hours. I managed to get 12k pcs photos geotag updated in Iphone 12 by locking my phone, connecting power using USB-C to Lighting cable, connected to 100mbps network less than 6 hours. Hope this help!

Yes and ios14.2 has fixed the problem with geotag in photos.

Fixed in iOS 14.2

So I went to the Apple store on Saturday and the guy told me the new feature with IOS 14 is you swipe up on the photo and it shows the map and the exact location. It no longer shows on top. Guess we just have to get used to it.

Photos is looking up the short name of a location, when the camera is taking a new photo or you import a new photo. The problem seems to be, that Photos iOS currently cannot look up the location names for new photos. It still knows the location names for the older photos, because they have been looked up previously. For the new photos it knows the GPS and can display the position of the new photos on the map below the enlarged photo, but the short name of the location is "unknown", unless it is your Home. So Photos cannot show it in the title.

SUCCESS!!! iOS 14.2 FINALLY solves the photo geotagging issue! I have updated my work iPhone 7 to iOS 14.2 and made a couple test photos and the geotags instantly appeared. Also, checking previous photos I have taken between iOS 14.0 and iOS 14.1, those missing geotags have finally come up. Just in case anyone needs to know my location, it is Washington, DC, USA.

I can safely assume that Apple, in a hasty fashion, expedited iOS 14.0 and completely missed the geotag feature in photos. It probably was not reported on as a "fixed" bug because that would be tremendously embarrassing to Apple to admit they left out such a legacy feature. Nevertheless, the problem is resolved!

So I updated my iPhone to iOS 14.5 and my iPad to iPadOS 14.5. Geotagging seems to be starting to function normally! At least I’ve taken pics in several places and it all shows accurately but not showing the same location like the previous versions did. But those pics taken during the period are unaffected, still not accurate.

I feel like my devices are as fluid as iOS 13 after the update.

Happened to me too. Fixed it by closing photos app and restarting
