    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.

    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.

    We have the option to take photos, and our photos will now be tagged with the name of the place they were taken at the top. We can see in this demonstration that the photo on the screen was taken in Tbilisi. This is because we have GeoTagging turned on, and this lets myself and others see where our photos were taken.

Set up Geo-tagging on phone and location services were on, but can't see location on the screen when taking photos?

I have followed all the steps and set the location services and camera enabled for Geo-tagging, but when I try to capture a photo, I don't see any location or coordinates at the top of the screen. I have tried: Followed all set up of GPS instructions and took a photo. I think it was caused by: I do not know

Smaller-screen iPhone models (4, 4S, 5, 5c, 5S, and SE) may not show the location when the picture has been opened. Instead, open the picture and tap on the back button in the upper-left corner. Now, tap on the "Photos" folder at the bottom of the screen. Your pictures will have the location tag shown above their thumbnails.
