Seeing the description of a image.

I’d like to know how to view the full information on what time a picture was taken and the last time it was viewed.I tried to do this by sharing the image into my files and viewing the info that way but it alters the dates to the current one that I have shared the picture into the file app.

  1. Open the Photos App: Launch the Photos app on your iPhone.
  2. Select the Photo: Locate the photo you want to get information about and tap on it to open it.
  3. View Photo Details: Once the photo is open, look for the "i" icon or the "Details" option (the location of this option may vary slightly depending on the version of iOS you are using). Tap on this icon or option to view information about the photo.
  4. Photo Information: In the information screen, you can see details such as the date and time the photo was taken, the file size, the dimensions of the image, location (if location services were enabled when the photo was taken), and any metadata associated with the photo.

FileAccessDate is very easily modified (almost just looking at the file changes it, pun intended) and accessing that info inside Photos library might need some extra digging. Why do you ask this, if may ask?
