photo app on ipad

Hi,


I have tried searching the community but can’t seem to find a definite answer that I understand. I am hoping someone will be able to give me a simple yes or no answer.


I am storing my photos on my iPad using the photo app. It does pretty much every thing I want it to so I don’t have a need for anything more complicated. I have worked out how to assign photos to albums, how to send photos and how to add descriptions. What I am struggling to find is a way to add a title to photo. Is this possible?


please note this is for the iPad not for a Mac.


many thanks in advance for any insight or information.


regards

Rob

iPad, iPadOS 15

You can write a caption into the caption field for each photo. This is possible, when the Info field is open for the photo and you are viewing it full screen. See:

View photos and videos in the Photos app on iPad – Apple Support (UK)


"See photo and video information

To see information about a photo or video, tap  or swipe up while viewing it in full screen. Depending on the photo or video, you see the following details:

  • People identified in the photo
  • A caption field to describe the photo or video, and make it easier to find in Search
  • Items detected by Visual Look Up
  • If the photo was shared with you in Messages or another app
  • The date and time the photo or video was taken; tap Adjust to edit the date and time
  • Camera metadata such as lens, shutter speed, file size, and more
  • Where the photo or video was taken; tap the link to view the location in Maps"


So, you can describe the photo with a caption, but you cannot rename the original file with a different filename.
