I'm trying to add captions to photos.

When I open Get Info for a photo, there is no option to add a caption. It says No Caption and No Title and they are both greyed out. How do I activate captions? I've tried all the suggestions I can find. Thanks

MacBook Pro 16″, macOS 14.6

suspect, you are looking at the photos in a Shared album.

It is not possible to add captions and titles to photos in a shared album. When you share a photo with a title or caption, they will be stripped, before the photo is shared.


To share information with a photo in a shared album, add it as a comment, when you share the photo.

You can also add a comment after you shared the photo by viewing it enlarged and clicking the call-out in the lower left corner.
