Add Captions to Photos and Videos

In this video, we will look at how we can now add captions to photos and videos in the Photos app on the iPad. This was introduced with iPadOS 14. Let’s go to my iPad. So I’m looking at my photos here. We can see I’m looking at all of my photos; this particular photo here was in the Smoky Mountains.

What I would like to do is I would like to caption this or add a title to this. We could not do this on the iPad or the iPhone before iPadOS 14 or iOS 14. We could only do this on the Mac while now with iPadOS 14. And if you have an iPhone iOS 14, we can now add a title or a caption to photos.

To do that. All we have to do is open up the photo. So when I tap on this, it’s going to open. Now, what I need to do is I need to swipe up. So when I swipe up, you’re going to see an option here to add a caption. I tap in here, the keyboard comes up, and I type in my caption. So we’re just going to call this Smoky Mountains.

I tap on the button to hide the keyboard. And now we’ve added a caption or a title to this photo. I swiped down to view the photo. I swipe up to view the caption. Now, what I can also do is search for this to search. I need to go back. So I’m going to tap on the arrow in the upper left-hand corner. And then I go over to search in my sidebar.

And let’s search for smoky mountains. I tap in here, I type in smoky mountains, and we can see, we have my photo there. I tap on it. And when I swipe up, we can see we have our description or caption. It works the same way with videos. So that’s how we add captions and descriptions to our photos and videos in the Photos app.

We have to open up the photo and then swipe up, and you’re going to see, add a description, tap on that, and add your description. Swipe back down to go back to your photo. So that’s how you add captions or descriptions to photos and videos in the Photos app on the iPad.
