Geotag on photos not working since iOS 14 upgrade.

Ever since I upgraded to iOS 14, my iPhone does not show the geotag location at the top of each picture. Only the date and time it was taken. My camera settings are correct and my location settings are accurate, but it won’t show the location on the photos. The photos I have that were taken before installing iOS 14 show the location and geotag still. But any picture taken since the upgrade does not show the location.

I’m in the UK as well and noticed this when I downloaded iOS 14 and it stayed the same with iOS 14.0.1. My phone will tag home but nowhere else. A couple of times it’s tagged my workplace but the tag disappeared pretty quickly after.

I talked to Apple last week, they put me through to an engineer who said they have had reports of the issue and advised to pay attention to upcoming updates.

I was excited when 14.1 came but alas, still waiting for the photo tag issue to be resolved. 😔

I'm sending a tweet to @Apple every day (which will be lost in the thousands they probably receive) but it makes me feel better :) and it's easy whilst I'm sat @ home in the evenings.


There is also a feedback form I was asked to complete after I'd spoken to apple last week:


https://www.apple.com/feedback/photos-ios-ipados.html


So I'm filling & submitting weekly :)

The location is no longer showing for any of my photos in the past or the present. Whose terrible idea or major screwup was this. It needs to be fixed. When I called Apple and finally got a human to complain, she said Apple was aware of the problem and working on it. That was 3 weeks ago. Apple - FIX THIS.

I sent a DM via twitter to @AppleSupport with my case number (ref number assigned to me after speaking with Apple in Ireland).


Their reply confirmed that they had received numerous unhappy enquiries on this issue & that it was 'under review'...mmmm.


The only thing we can do is to bombard apple with DM's via twitter, fill in feedback forms weekly, put tweets in the public domain...I don't know if apple monitor this website but if they do & see the level of annoyance, then maybe they'll take note & action.
