IPhone – way to see the time that a photo was taken on the iPhone

iphonephotos

Sometimes I took a photo using my iPhone, and then later on, I wonder how long I have been there at that location, I thought of checking when the last photo was taken, and can tell the time when I arrived, but I found it wasn't easily possible to see what time the photo was taken.

Is there really a way to see the time that photo was taken, be it 1 hour and 20 minutes ago, without using any third party app and without importing the photo to a computer? I thought this might be a simple photo info thing that might be invoked by some easy way?

Yes - the old mobile iPhoto app as well as the Photos app shows all sorts of photo metadata (assuming you allowed the camera app to store it in the first place) including the capture time.

Camera roll and Photo stream are part of the Library, so you should be good to go. You can get the above screen by tapping the i with the rectangle to bring up the information for photos stored in the library.

In the case of time, even if you deny location services, it should have the timestamp based on the file's creation date/time.
