I love the iPhone wallpapers, it’s great to see photo’s of beautiful locations I have visited. However, I often can’t remember where the photos was taken, it would be great to show the location - a name - or perhaps click on a small map that will show the location and the other photos taken at that location.
Click the little “I” button at the bottom of the screen! You can add a caption and location.
If you have location services turned on for Photos (or Camera?) it will do that automatically. I have that turned off because it stays with the photo and I don’t like broadcasting where I’ve been (or am). I don’t know if it stays if you add it manually.
Adding a caption may be new? I just saw it recently, and also updated to iOS 18 recently.
Hi Diane D, thanks for your response. My description didn’t adequately describe my issue. I am aware of the “I” I photo and the location.
When you have a locked screen, and your wallpapers are set to photos, Apple picks photos randomly while the phone is locked. What I would love is the ability to find out where the photo was taken. I could try searching my photo album, but I have 10+ years of photos.
Ah that one is a little harder. I have that set too (Photo Shuffle?). The only way I know is to long press, hit Customize, select the lock screen, then hit the three dots. That will let you show the photo in the library (and not feature the photo if you don’t like it).

This is a long-standing issue with photos in general. I seem to recall that iPhoto had settings to display captions in slideshows etc. but this vanished in subsequent updates.
One idea is to have a meta-data field that is always displayed with a photo but is blank by default. The user could optionally fill the field with a caption or location.
Thanks that’s all possible, however if it just showed on a map where the photo was taken it would refresh my memory - ah well we live in hope that someone at apple comes up with a bright idea!
