Can I obtain GPS data in iOS Photos?

I frequently hike, take tons of photos. There are a couple locations, off-trail, that I really want to find -- I have iOS photos from 2023; but, while I see a map on "Get Info" it's not clear whether I can actually get the GPS coordinates of where it was, so I can navigate back.


Is that possible?

I'm sure there are 3rd party apps on the App Store that would allow you to easily view the GPS coordinates.


A free (but a bit cumbersome) solution would be to share the photo with the Files app. Then in Files, view the information of that file (long-press then Get Info) and tap Show More (to the right of Informations). The latitude and longitude will be at the bottom of the list.
