My photos show wrong location

Hi, apple0216!

I understand having the correct geotags for your pictures is important. There could be a few things going on that could cause this to happen, and I am happy to share some general troubleshooting to help.

The steps in the article linked below are great for apps you've installed from the App Store, even though the title of the article isn't the exact issue you're experiencing. It will take you through the basics, including restarting the app and your iPhone, all the way up to contacting the developer of the app you're having trouble with.

Before reaching out to the developer, I would also suggest checking out your Location Services settings for that app specifically. You can access your Location Services under Settings > Privacy > Location Services. Make sure they are turned on for the Camera360 app.

If you don't see the Camera360 app in that list, you can also reset your Location Services to allow the app permission to use your location. This will reset all apps permission to use your location, and the next time you open apps that use your location you'll be asked if you'd like to allow them to access it. Just select the "Allow" option for all the apps you'd like to use your location.

More information about Location Services can be found in the following article, including turning them on and off under the "Turn Location Services on or off" section, and resetting your services under the "Reset or disable Location Services" section.

Have a great rest of your day!

This has happened to me using the native iphone camera. It is not an issue that can be blamed on third party app developers or location services being turned off (which would result in no location, not a location in Kazakhstan). It must be some kind of error in writing the geotag as it's saved to the image.

Is there a way to edit the location metadata in photos?

Also, I love the new iPhoto update but the "Memories" albums it keeps creating from photos I've taken around my home neighborhood of Brooklyn, NY are showing up as "Long Island" which is like saying Cupertino is in San Francisco, only with a worse connotation.

Any ideas of how to address these location issues would be greatly appreciated!

Actually this is a Camera360 problem.

The problem is that the Camera360 iPhone app provides wrong GPS coordinates in its captured photos. For example, I am located in Montreal, Quebec, Canada, where my GPS coordinates are (confirmed by iOS photo app):

Latitude: 45.49 N

Longitude: 73.68 W

The Camera360 iPhone app provides the following WRONG GPS coordinates in all photos taken around my hometown area:

Latitude: 45.49 N

Longitude: 73.68 E

So instead of WEST, the Camera360 iPhone app recorded EAST, which is wrong.

I dont' know how to get them to fix this issue as there is no in-app support. In-app feedback and FAQ s**k, unfortunately.

I have the same issue where the native iPhone app says "Long Island" on my pictures after visiting Brooklyn this weekend.

Pictures from Manhattan are correctly tagged.
