iOS 14 lets you add captions to photos and it’s a great way to add more information to them to save your memories.
Add Captions to Photos
Adding captions to photos is as simple as tapping on a photo, swiping up, and adding text to the caption field. There doesn’t seem to be a way to add a caption to multiple photos as once, but that’s okay because the caption is most likely going to be unique to each photo.

Set us as a preferred source and our Apple reporting ranks higher in your Google Search results and Discover feed — one tap, no account changes.
For example, I’ve scanned old family photos and keep them in the Photos app. Captions help me remember information like names, locations, and context. Then I can tap on the search bar in Photos and relevant captions will appear there.
Editing metadata?
No it’s something different. Must be a Photos-exclusive feature because I checked the metadata of a captioned photo but the text I added wasn’t included.
I would love to be able to add and edit metadata on the iPhone.
And please let us choose which photos to put in iCloud. I may take a number of photos of subject, but only one is worth keeping.
