4 The information about the photo includes:

  • Searchable comment that you can enter.
  • Date
  • Camera Information
  • Map Location
  • Show in All Photos.  Good for finding additional photos from this setting.

For example, I love water and have hundreds of photos showing beaches, waterfront, lakes, rivers, ponds and waterfall. When I can’t remember the subject of the photo, it is so easy to swipe up to get more information including the location on a map and more.
