One drive date downloaded and date created

Mazen Samir 0

Hi, I have one drive synced on my iphone and desktop whenever I try to download an image on my phone its buried deep down in the gallery at the time it was originally created (these are 3d renders images not photos) so my question is how can I download the images on my phone with the date its downloaded so its on top of the gallery not the date it was created?

Hello Mazen Samir

I can see that you want to download the images on your phone with the date its downloaded so it's on top of the gallery

What is happening here is that the iPhone Photos app is likely using the image’s original created/captured date instead of the date it was downloaded from OneDrive. Because of that, the file may appear much further back in the gallery instead of near the top.

Here are some options you can try:

Change the Photos sort order

Open the Photos app on your iPhone.
Tap the sort/filter option.
Choose Recently Added so newly saved items appear with your latest downloads.

Update the date on the image if needed

Open the image in the Photos app.
Tap the Info button (or swipe up on the photo).
Select Adjust Date & Time.
Set it to the date you want, then save.

Use an album as a workaround

After downloading the images, move them into a separate album.
This can make them easier to find even if the original metadata date stays unchanged.

I hope this helps make the images easier to find.

Feel free reply back to this post if you need further assistance, I'll be happy to help.
