I'm an MSP engineer working at a new client's site and I'm trying to document everything with photographs. Right now, I find myself taking a bunch of photos, transferring them to my laptop, and then renaming each one individually, which is quite tedious. Is there any iOS app that lets me rename a picture immediately after I take it? I want to avoid switching between the Camera and File apps constantly to rename each photo.

If you're using OneDrive, there's a feature where you can click the + icon, select 'scan', and then take a picture. It prompts you to rename it before uploading. It might also allow direct uploads to SharePoint, which can streamline your workflow a bit.
I usually open a Teams session with myself and title each cabinet or room while snapping away. Later, back at my desk, I create a folder structure and drag the photos in. It's a bit of work but helps keep things organized. You can rename them later too, which makes it easier to manage!
You can use Power Rename in the Powertools suite once they're on your laptop for bulk renaming. It's really convenient for managing a lot of images at once.
Irfanview is another great tool for Windows users—it lets you batch rename and even convert formats if needed.
Have you tried Microsoft Lens? I use it on Android but it works on iOS too. It prompts you to enter a filename after taking a picture, so you can name them right away! You can take multiple pictures for one document if needed.
That sounds like a smart approach!
