Build a Photo EXIF Data Viewer Shortcut for iPhone

Every photo your iPhone takes contains hidden metadata — the exact location it was taken, the camera settings used, the precise timestamp, and more. This EXIF data is buried inside the file and invisible unless you know where to look. A photo EXIF data viewer shortcut for iPhone surfaces all of this information instantly when you share any photo to it, making metadata accessible to anyone without technical knowledge.

How this EXIF viewer shortcut works

Share a photo to the shortcut from your Photos app or any other source. The shortcut extracts the EXIF metadata from the image file and displays it in a readable format: GPS coordinates, date and time taken, camera model, focal length, shutter speed, ISO, and more. Useful for photographers reviewing their settings or anyone checking where a photo was actually taken.
