How to get a visible date and time stamp on photos taken from native apple camera app? This is for iphone 15 promax. Thanks

All photos taken from the native iPhone camera app are not showing any time and date stamp. I could not see anything on this in camera settings. Is there any way we can get them other than downloading other apps for camera?

Windows, Windows 10

Unfortunately, the native Camera app on iPhones, including the iPhone 15 Pro Max, does not offer a built-in feature to add a visible date and time stamp to photos. However, there are a few workarounds you can try:

  1. Manually Add Date and Time Stamp:
  2. You can use photo editing apps available on the App Store to manually add a date and time stamp to your photos after they have been taken. Apps like Adobe Photoshop Express, Snapseed, or Over allow you to overlay text onto your photos, including the date and time.
  3. Enable Timestamp in Settings:
  4. Sometimes, certain third-party camera apps offer the ability to enable a timestamp feature. Although you prefer not to use other camera apps, it's worth checking if any available apps provide this functionality.
  5. Sync Photos with a Computer:
  6. If you sync your iPhone photos with a computer, some photo management software on your computer might have the option to automatically add a timestamp to imported photos. Software like Adobe Lightroom or even the default Photos app on macOS offer this feature.
  7. Use Shortcuts App:
  8. You can create a shortcut using the Shortcuts app on your iPhone to automatically add a date and time stamp to photos after they are taken. While this won't be visible directly on the photo, you can view the timestamp in the metadata.
  9. Explore Third-party Apps:
  10. Although you prefer not to use other camera apps, some third-party camera apps available on the App Store specifically offer the feature to add a date and time stamp to photos. You may find one that suits your needs.

Keep in mind that these solutions may not provide the exact functionality you're looking for within the native Camera app, but they offer alternatives to achieve a similar result.
