This tutorial explains how to edit time and date of photos on Google Photos app. The new mobile app of Google Photos now lets you change photo metadata in just a few taps. And in this post, I will show you how to do that. This option was to edit photo metadata was there on the web interface of Photos but now, with the new update, you can do it right on your phone.
Both Android and iOS apps of Google Photos are updated on the respective app stores and you can now use the metadata editor easily. You can edit date and time of any photo using a modern date-time picker tool, which you can find when you open the photo using the swipe up action.
