The only place I've seen "add a caption" in Photos is in the Caption field in the Info Window

Is that what you mean?


I had to hunt for a screenshot, because most of my pictures already have captions that I've added to help me remember what happened and to help with searches. Of course there's lots of other stuff, like "Add a location" (sometimes) or "Adjust" or "Roan Antelope," but they only appear when you ask for Info. Since you have to ask for them (by tapping in the (i) Info icon) to get these things, and since they only appear to help you know where to put stuff, I'm guessing that they are here to stay.


Have I missed something-- is there somewhere else that you see "add a caption?" If this is the problem, then I would suggest that you just not tap the Info button.


Let us know if that's it or there's something we missed…
