Do you like to see date and time stamps on photos taken on your iPhone? It may be convenient to see data stamped directly on the photo, but the iPhone doesn’t have these capabilities on their native app.
The easiest way to change the date or time stamp on your photos on your iPhone is within the Photos app on a Mac (assuming you have one and not a PC and that you have enabled iCloud photo sharing on your iPhone and are signed into the same iCloud account on both devices.).

First, pay and download PhotoMarks from the App Store.

2. DateStamper
If you prefer to try a free app, you may want to check out DateStamper. Available for iOS 10.0 and later, it allows stamping in bulk. It also uses non-destructive editing, which means it doesn’t destroy your original photo.
Step 1 – Download App
First, go to the App Store and download DateStamper. Install it on your iPhone and give all the necessary permissions.
Step 2 – Stamp Photos
Now it’s time to stamp your photos with a time and date. Choose a single photo or an entire album to apply the stamp to. You may also want to use the app plug-in which allows you to apply the stamp directly from your camera app.
You can personalize the stamps with color, font, size, and position options. Furthermore, you can also edit time/date stamps that were already applied to photos.
3. Timestamp
If you would like access to a wide array of personalization options, you can get it with the Timestamp app. It’s free to download but may require in-app purchases to access some features. If you have iOS 8.0 or later, you may want to give this stylish app a try.
Step 1 – Download App
First, search and download Timestamp from the App Store. Install the app as directed and allow permissions for this app to access your device.
Step 2 – Personalize and Apply Stamps
Now that you have the app, it’s time to stamp your photos. There is a large variety of stamp designs to choose from. You may want to personalize your stamps in accordance with the activities shown in the photos like food, working out, or taking notes.
Additionally, this app allows you to modify the time manually instead of simply reading metadata from the photo. You can also apply the date stamp to multiple photos using this app.
4. Auto Stamper
Would you like the option to stamp your photos with more than just time and/or date? This app lets you do just that, but it’s not free. Still, if you have iOS 8.0 or later and want to give it a try, check out the steps below.
Step 1 – Download App
First, head to the App Store and download Auto Stamper. As mentioned before, you will have to pay a small fee to use this app.
Follow the installation instructions to get started and give the necessary permissions for the app to access your iPhone’s files.
Step 2 – Set Your Stamp Parameters
Next, set up your photo stamp. It automatically inserts the current date and time as reflected on your phone, but you can also add additional stamps into the same photo. You can add three other watermark types: GPS location, signature text, and logo.
Furthermore, you can also customize your stamp(s) by choosing the position, size, font, color, and opacity for each stamp. When you’re done, the Live feature will give you a preview of the photo with your customized stamps.

Stamp apps vary so much that you may have to try a few first. Hopefully, the apps listed in this article will help you find the right one and decide which features are really important to you.
