If the location is incorrect or missing, you can manually edit it in the Google Photos app following these steps, based on the provided information:
Here's a step-by-step guide:
- On your Android phone or tablet, open the Google Photos app.
- Open the specific photo or video whose location you wish to change.
- Tap More. This is typically represented by a three-dot icon (...), usually located in the top right corner.
- Within the options that appear, look for and tap Edit. This action is specifically related to editing the location data associated with the media.
- You will then be able to Add or select a location. You can choose from recent locations or manually search for a place.
