In iOS 15, Apple has made some improvements to the photo app. For example, you can see the EXIF data of the photo. This function is implemented through a new "Information" button. The new feature provides a title field for the selected photo. The title field reveals where the image was taken and other information. In addition to the above, if a picture was not taken with a mobile phone camera, the information button will also tell the user which application on the device the picture was saved from. For example, in the screenshot below, you can see that the HomePod picture is saved from the internet through Safari.

This metadata information is also like an organization tag. Thus if you click on the "save from" location in bold, the photo app will filter the photo library to show any other images saved from the same app. This way, it will be more convenient to find some pictures. As of now, the early developer beta version of iOS 15 is already available. According to the company, the public beta version will be available next month. As for the official stable version of iOS 15, users will have to wait until this fall.
