How to Manually Add a Location to Google Photos – Guide

Some people may not mind having their location added to photos. After all, there’s no need to wonder where this photo was taken in the first place. However, there are times when it is not necessary to have the correct position or placement of an image. The good news is that you can use Google Photos to change where your photos and videos are saved. You can even view multiple images and videos at the same time to save time. We will see how to change the location of your photos in Google Photos. First let’s discuss the steps how to add a location to any image, followed by an entire album. Interestingly, for the individual assignment of the location it is necessary to rely on the help of the photo site.

Adding the location to an entire album is possible through the app itself. However, follow the instructions below to manually add the photo location to Google Photos. The app also received a markup tool for editing functions. Check this out too. A Google Maps snippet showing this address is also added. Click on it and you will be taken to the Google Maps page with a greatly enlarged view of your location on the map. ..

Adding photo locations manually

If you have added them manually before, they will be listed in alphabetical order under “Photos.” If you have not added them manually, they will be listed in " Automatic Locations."
  4. In the bottom right corner of this window, you will see a checkbox called “Add location tags.” If checked, all of your photos will get location tags automatically when they are uploaded to Google Photos. If unchecked, all photos will not get location tags automatically but they will still get automatic tagging when they are shared on social media or viewed online. To add a photo to this list, click on it and then click on the blue plus sign next to its name to add it to the list permanently.
  5. To remove a photo from this list, click on its name and then click on the minus sign next to its name to remove it from the list permanently.
