date stamps appearing incorrectly on ios

Hi there

Ive been going through my newly converted library organising things and adding a few more photos. Ive recently added a bunch of old black and white scanned photos which I gave a date of 1800 just so they'd appear at the top of my list (and perhaps Id eventually find the correct dates). it all looks correct when viewed in photos on my mac, however when view on iOS the photos don't have their amended dates 😟. Am i doing something wrong or is this a bug?

many thanks for any help!

ooook - I just used the date renaming tool 'A Better Finder Attributed 5' to change the EXIF timestamp on one of my photos, dragged it back into Photos, and it synced across to my iPhone and DOES keep the correct date!

Which means there's definitely something not working with Photos date adjustment feature (and it seems just MY versions 😟 )

Update: photos app date changes sync across perfectly when using iCloud Photo Library, so it seems it's just the old method of syncing using iTunes that is having issues 😟
