Adjust Date and Time of Multiple Photos

You will then have to change the time stamps of each photos individually, which can be quite a task. Thankfully, Google Photos’ new feature lets you easily edit the time stamp on multiple photos at once.

To do so, simply select the photos whose time stamp you want to change and click “Edit date & time” in the menu drop-down. Then, you’ll be able to shift or set the time stamps, and preview the changes before saving.

Select Your Favorite Emoji into Search to Pull Up Corresponding Photos
