Date and Time stamp on ipad photo

[flyboyy]

How you I get a 'date and time' stamp on pictures taken by our iPad? I checked prefs and could see nothing obvious.

On the iPad, if you open the image there is a circle with an "i" in it at the top of the screen. Tap that and you can see the information about the image.

And to answer your direct question, the date/tiime stamp is on by default and I don't think it can be turned off.

Thanks MacInWin. Does it show in the final picture if I printed it off? I want to have the stamp on it for a document.

No, it doesn't. But there are other ways of doing this:

‎DateStamper

‎DateStamper allows you to apply beautiful date stamps overtop your photos – and include time, GPS location, and custom captions if you’d like. — "DateStamper brings back old memories for me ... It looks good, it gets the job done, and it’s nicely integrated with Apple’s Photos app." –...

And maybe, or not, this video might help?

Thanks IWT, much appreciated.

I am quite surprised that Apple would not have included this option. I always date stamp photos as otherwise I rarely recall when the pic was taken. I have a good memory, but the recall is shot ; )

The time stamping of photos went away with the point-and-shoot cameras. The smartphone based pictures hold a LOT of extra data known as EXIF data that provides minimally the date and time the picture was taken, but also what camera settings were used to take that picture along with where you were (geographically) when you took the picture.

So the image file will always retain all that info, but you'll have to use 3rd party apps to put a watermark on the picture with the date/time and info.

This is also due to that fact that people tend to print pictures less so these days with all the various ways of viewing them.
