Geotag on photos not working since iOS 14 upgrade.

The issue persists

After updating to 14.2 some photos were tagged but less precise( I can compare photos on iPhone with ios 14.2 vs Ipad still in ios 13)

It partially worked until yesterday. Tried turning it off for 5 minutes, nothing

I really hope Apple can fix this

For me is a major issue ..

The issue...must have fixed itself on its own? I’m getting correct geotags which is awesome, but the problem is that some of the photos I’ve taken still say “home” on it, does anyone know how to revert them back to what they should be? I’m thinking of duplicating them and then deleting the duplicates but idk, I feel like there should be a simpler way.

Yes some of my photos are labelled Great Britain which is certainly imprecise! 🤣🤣🤣 Cone on Apple people pay ALOT for your shiny products!!!

I felt regretted to get iPhone12:( It such a costly phone !!!!! and never expected such an issue ???!!!!!

I should have come in here to read the reviews.

May I check if can request return the phone and request refund as I bought it in Nov ? Thank you

yeah I have the iPhone XR and the issue happened right after updating to IOS 14, although now it’s fixed itself somehow...I’ve been shutting my phone off recently to focus on schoolwork and I guess the last time I did it, it started to work again? Really weird if you ask me. Anyways, I think it’s inconsistent with turning off the phone, and will randomly happen (fix itself). Then again, I don’t have an iPhone 12 so I don’t know if it can be fixed on that device or not.

I have this issue just in these days, all the photos I took before Dec. 3 show geotag normally, however after that the photos just show a map below it. I am not sure if it related with the iOS 14 cause I have updated it last month, but issues just happened recently.

hello :) any problems with iOS 14.3?

No idea re: 14.3.....I'm a little reluctant to run the update @ the moment as the location is appearing in my photo's as they should be....and I don't want to jinx it.

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!

I was curious and updated, while 14.2.1 is still signed, but fortunately everything works fine on 14.3 and geotags are clearly shown :)

I always lose the geotags as well when I restore from backup. It only worked when I set up iPhone as new, but I miss my backup. What do you mean by 'to ''lock'' the phone, connect to power and use high speed internet for at least 72 hours'. Does it have to be a wifi connection, does it mean you cannot use the phone to do anything else in the 72 hours?

you still can use the phone but I believe operating the phone will drain some resources from background update/synchronisation. Thus, put your phone standby if you don’t really need to use it.

Cellular data may not as stable as any home/office network so using homewifi would be the best choice.

I tried connecting lighting cable to laptop USB port didn’t help to speed up the process.

Direct power from wall outlet to adapter + cable helped.

Great. Thanks. I will try it

Little by little Apple going down. iPhone 12 - 95% as iPhone 11, geo tag does not work, 😭😭😭...

Same problem
