How To Find (Extract) The GPS Coordinates On Your iPhone Photos

Sometimes I want to get the GPS Coordinates of the photos I take with my iPhone. All of my photos are automatically uploaded to the Photos App on my iMac. When I click a photo and look at the information tag, it gives me a map location of where I took the photo but does not reveal the GPS Coordinates. Sometimes I like to use the GPS Coordinates and use them in Google maps or Google Earth. There is an easy way to find the GPS location of your iPhone photos. It takes a few extra steps but the information is there.

Just make sure your location services is turned on for your phone and also go into settings to make sure locations services is turned on for the camera app. I show you how to do it in the video. The rest is straightforward. Just watch the video to see just how easy it is.

Steve, you’re a legend!! 👏🏻 Well explained, yet simple and to the point. This has helped me figure out the coordinates I need to use for a gift! 😁 Thanks! 🙏🏻

Great video, thanks.
Is there a way to see these coordinates on the iPhone without having to first transfer them to the computer and use the photos and preview programs?

[SlavicSon]

Thanks man! This is was the most clear explanation of doing that on the entire WWW. Kudos!

[hollowaymiles]

Thanks, Does this apply to photo received via text message?

[stephanedresler]

Excellent info. No need for another app to extract the info. Thank you!

I have a question? for photos that were taken before turning the location services ON while using the camera is not possible to find this GPS information right?

Hi Steve. I use Windows 10. When I click the picture then File. I only see Open New Window, Open Window Powershell and Options. Export is not in any of them. How do I find out where the Export feature is?

Hi Steve! This only works if i had Mac? What about PC?! I will appreciate your help. Cheers :)

Thank you for this! This was extremely helpful, as I recently lost a lot of my GPS data, and all I had to go by in some cases were photos on my iPhone 6. This tip saved my project, as the Photos software just doesn't show coordinates. I hope that gets changed soon, as it would be such a handy feature! Excellent video on your part.

something I did not know how to extract. NICE!

Many Thanks Steve, I appreciate you taking the time to put this up, Cheers

Well, it probably worked when made. But 2022 and now 'gps' isn't an option in that list. At least for me. OS 12.2.1 :-(

HOW DO YOU TRANSLATE THAT INFO TO GOOGLE MAPS, IS NOT THE SAME

Hey brother.. If you haven't already please do so.. This may help you live longer.. Please check your "ferratin" levels thru a blood test.. Its a test to see if you have excessive iron build up in your body.. It usually causes bronze or yellowish skin. Liver failure and a heart attack can happen with no warnings.. Nice videos by the way.

Thanks Steve. Unfortunately iPhone sucks in everything.

It's much easier:
1. Drag & Drop the picture to the desktop (or somewhere else)
2. Mark it and use "cmd" + "i" for information. And there it is: The GPS data.

Can you find the location of a photo on your iPhone only using your iPhone?

Ugh I bet thieves are all over this lol,
