How can I bulk download my iPhone photos and videos while retaining their original metadata ?

When I tried this I noticed the photos and videos were time stamped with the time of download. This is extremely annoying because I want to organise them in a backup file system in date time order of when the photos and videos were originally created, not at the point of downloading them.

Hello RayOFlyte,


We'd love to assist you with managing your photos. You came through from an article that provides great steps for downloading photos from iCloud. Downloading the photos will change the data for the photo to reflect when it was downloaded. There may be third party ways that will allow you to retain the original photo information.


Best regards
