Some of your photos aren't on the map. The ones friends sent you. The ones from your camera. The ones you took with Location Services switched off. Tagalong finds them, works out where they were taken, and restores the location automatically. HOW IT WORKS Tagalong scans your library for photos with no location, then compares each one against the photos you already have — matching what's in the image and when it was taken. It groups the results by place, shows you the map, and you accept with a tap. WHERE THE GAPS COME FROM • Photos sent over messaging apps — most strip location before sending • Photos imported from a DSLR, mirrorless or action camera with no GPS • Scanned prints and old family albums • Travel photos taken with Location Services switched off WHY IT MATTERS A photo with no location never appears on your Places map. It's skipped by Memories and Trips. And it doesn't turn up when you search for the city you were in. Tagalong closes those gaps, so every memory is back where it belongs. PRIVATE BY DESIGN Your photos are analysed entirely on your iPhone, using Apple's on-device Vision framework. They are never uploaded, never sent to a server, and never seen by anyone but you. Tagalong writes the location into the photo's existing EXIF metadata — it never re-encodes or compresses the original image. FREE TO TRY Scan your whole library for free and see exactly how many photos are missing a location. Your first 100 fixes are free. Tagalong Pro unlocks unlimited fixes, either as a yearly subscription or a one-time Lifetime purchase. Terms of Use (EULA): https://www.apple.com/legal/internet-services/itunes/dev/stdeula/
