Choose where you are looking at your photos.

Select to open the info pane.
Type a new tag or select the X next to a tag to remove it. (You edit tags by adding or removing them.)

View all photos from the same location in OneDrive

If supported by the device taking them, photos have location tags, which you can use to quickly view all photos within the same location.

Caution

Location tags can reveal personal information so be careful when using them!

To find all photos within the same location, type the location in the search bar at the top of the screen. You may need to add the country too.

Tip

If search doesn't find anything, but you know of at least one photo from that location, open the photo's detailed information pane Info to see how Bing maps has recorded the location, and use that as your search term.
