Save location info to your photos and videos


If you sometimes want to find all your photos or videos that match a certain location, or sometimes struggle to remember where you were when you took a particular photo or recorded a video, you can set your phone to automatically record the location and add geotags to your photos and videos.

GPS is used to record the coordinates of your location. Geotagging converts the coordinates into location tags with info of, for example, the country and the city. This is a network service and may result in data costs.

The location info may not be available in all regions.

Select .

You need to switch GPS on before you can switch geotagging on.

Switch GPS and geotagging on

  1. Tap the settings area, and select Use GPS.

    It may take several minutes to obtain the coordinates of your location. The availability and quality of GPS signals may be affected by your location, buildings, natural obstacles, and weather conditions. This feature requires network service.

  2. Select Use geotags.

Tip: You can also add or edit geotags later, in Gallery.

Location information can be attached to an image or a video, if location information is available. Location information may become visible to third parties, if images or videos are shared.
