How can I automatically add a date/time stamp to iPhone photos without save confirmations?
I’m trying to automatically add a date/time stamp to photos on iPhone at the moment the picture is taken.
I’ve seen some Shortcut solutions and apps, but most of them ask for confirmation every single time (“Do you want to save this photo?” or similar), and that completely breaks the flow when taking multiple pictures.
What I want is:
- Take the photo normally
- Automatically add the timestamp
- Save directly to Photos with no prompts or confirmations
I don’t care if the original photo is also saved separately for now — I can sort that later.
Is there currently a Shortcut automation or app that can do this fully automatically on iPhone?
I found this Reddit thread talking about something similar:

Thanks.
