I'm curious about how enabling location tagging in the iPhone camera app impacts battery life. I have an iPhone 16PM, and when I take a photo with location services turned on, the location is saved in the metadata. If I take around 100-200 photos a day, will this noticeably drain my battery? Has anyone done any tests or know how iOS manages this with location tagging?

Yes, using your phone for various tasks can drain its battery, but that might not be directly linked to location tagging itself.
No, enabling location tagging shouldn't significantly drain your battery. Your iPhone is already tracking your location for various features like WiFi connections and emergency services, so tagging photos just adds a bit more info without doubling the battery usage.
That's a good point! The extra workload for saving location info while taking a photo is likely minimal since the phone is already doing so much.
