   To do this, locate the "Settings" icon, which is a silver and gray box with some gears inside of it

   It is labeled "Settings" at the bottom. This icon could be located anywhere on the home screen.

10. 10
    If we tap on the switch, this will disable "Location Services"

    .

    We'll just tap on "Cancel" at the bottom of the screen, as this is not what we want to do right now. "Location Services" will need to be turned on in order to be able to use GeoTagging.

    

    Was this step helpful? Yes | No| I need help
11. 11
    On the "Location Services" menu, we'll scroll down and tap on "Camera"

    .

    

    Was this step helpful? Yes | No| I need help
12. 12
    On the "Camera" settings screen, make sure that "While Using the App" is the option that is checked, and not "Never"

    .

    This allows access to our location when the application is running or when features of the application are running or visible on the screen. Specifically in terms of GeoTagging, it tags the actual location of any photos or videos where they are taken. The only exception to this is if we are in an area where we don't have connectivity or the ability to establish a location.
