iMore Question

Hi,
I once managed to download the photos of my iphone with the photo date included in the photo name: IMG_yymmdd_hhmmss. This is very useful to sort them and would like to do it again but dont remember how I did it the 1st time :(
And now when i connect my iphone to my computer i see basic name like IMG_8989, IMG_8990... which doesnt say anyhthing about when picture was taken

Can someone help & tell me how to proceed to keep the date in the title?

Thanks a lot !!!!

Hi, welcome to iMore.

Copy all those photos to a folder on your computer and use a EXIF editor to mass rename photos to your preference.
