You can change the location information (geotag) associated with your photos directly within the Google Photos app on your Android device. This process allows you to correct estimated locations or add location data to photos that don't have it.
Changing the "location" of a photo often refers to updating the geographical metadata saved with the image file. This data tells you where a photo was taken. 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.
- To remove an estimated location that Google Photos may have automatically added, tap Remove location.
By following these steps, you can update the location information displayed for your photos within the Google Photos app.
