If the date and time shown in Google Photos for your photos/videos isn’t accurate, you can now change them within the app. Tap on/swipe up on an photo/video in Google Photos. In Android, tap on the edit button next to the date and time to modify the details. In iOS, directly tap on the date and time to modify them.
Changing the date and time of your images and videos in Google Photos is not something you should often do. The primary reason being, Google Photos will now showcase the image/video in your account on the newly set date. So, if your image’s date is in October and you change it to January, it will be moved to January.
However, there’s one con to editing the date and time stamps in Google Photos. When you share the edited image, it might still show the original date and time saved.
Google Photos can sometimes fail to tag your image’s metadata correctly. However, with the Edit date & time feature, you can correct any incorrect dates in a cinch. Even better, Google Photos will move the image/video to the new date and time in your cloud gallery.
The platform is not the only app with such capability, however. If your primary device is an iPhone, you can manually adjust your images’ date, time, and location inside the Photos app.
