Many Android phones ask if you want to enter location information when taking pictures. If you do, you can check back later where exactly did you take the picture, which can be useful later.
If you want to know where to take a picture, on Android you have two ways to do it based on the layout of your mobile phone. We tell you how much you can accomplish with Google Photos as in other gallery applications.
Before you begin, remember that location information is part of the image metadata. These metadata are included in the original photos
In Google Photos
Most Android phones come with Google Photos as a great gallery app, and fortunately it's possible to see the place easily with this app. To do this, open your favorite image and touch menu button high. If you like, you'll get the same effect by sliding.
When an image includes location information in your metadata, a map will be displayed links the name of the place. Clicking on the map itself will open in Google Maps or other related map applications.
Google Photos is a step-by-step process, and it can find images in specific locations even though they are not enabled for geolocation to your camera app. Instead, it is based on image content and Google Places history. You can use Google Photos search to find the best images, and from the previous panel they are shown Estimated Location.
In the mobile gallery app
Other customization layers are still included your gallery application instead of Google Photos, such as Samsung or Huawei. The good news is that the frequency is the same: drop the image up to show the metadata, among which the location is.
In this case you don't have support for "Google magic" as in Google Photos, so you totally rely on images including location metadata or not In return, these gallery apps have their benefits, such as Huawei, where you can see your photos on a map (Find – Location – Map thumbnail), something that doesn't happen in Google Photos.
