Organizing photos on iPhone the way you want is a hefty task. Even though you can get location-based sorting and people face match grouping in the Photos app, adding custom tags and finding them when you want was not that easy. However, you can now add captions to photos on the iPhone. This way, you can tag photos with the same captions and find all of them at once quickly.
In this guide, we will show you how to tag photos on the iPhone from the iOS Photos app to find them easily.

It is quite a simple and easy task to add captions or tags to photos using your iPhone. You do not even need to install a third-party app for this. You can do this right away from the Photos app on your iPhone.

Great tips. This information will help me get more organized. It is just what I was trying to find.
Great tip. Just what I needed, for years. 👍😀
This is so so helpful!! It is just what I needed and I had no idea this feature existed. I am about to go down the rabbit hole adding captions to my zillions of pictures. I am so grateful – thank you!
I just tried it by adding the same caption to five photos. But searching for the caption yielded no results, unfortunately.
