Two tools, one workflow
Fix the moment. Restore the place.
Date correction and geotagging are independent: use only what you need and always review the proposed changes first.
Match photos and videos to the track.
Import a time-stamped GPX file and match each item to the corresponding point along the route.
- Interpolation between points
- Stop handling
- Elevation when available
How it works
Three steps before anything is changed.
The app processes multiple items in sequence and shows dates, sources, coordinates, and matches before applying changes.
Select
Choose multiple photos and videos from your library using the system picker.
Review
Review proposed dates, time zone, existing locations, and recognized content.
Update
Confirm date correction or coordinate addition separately.
Precise control
Important choices stay visible.
InstaDateFix avoids indiscriminate changes and offers adjustable criteria for different GPS recordings and existing data.
Capture time zone
Correctly interpret the time in an Insta360 filename, even when the photo was taken while traveling.
GPX tolerance
Choose 1, 2, 5, or 10 minutes to match the track’s recording frequency.
Interpolated location
Calculate coordinates and optional elevation between the points surrounding the capture time.
Stops recognized
Keep matching possible when a gap in the track occurs at the same location.
Protected geotags
Existing coordinates are preserved unless overwriting is explicitly enabled.
Videos included
Videos can receive coordinates using the date already stored in the Photos library.
Deliberate changes
Review first. Then decide what to update.
InstaDateFix directly updates the date, time, or location fields of selected items in the Photos library. It does not alter pixels, audio, or video frames.
Separate operationsGeotagging does not change the date; date correction does not change the location.
No duplicatesChanges are applied to the selected items without creating copies.
No built-in undoThe app does not retain previous values or provide an undo history.
Every feature, with no in-app purchases.

Frequently asked questions.
Which photos can use date correction?
Images where the app finds a JPG or JPEG name matching the supported Insta360 pattern in the IPTC/TIFF description or original filename.
Can I geolocate videos too?
Yes. For videos, the date already stored in the Photos library is used to find a location on the GPX track.
Does geotagging also change the date and time?
No. The coordinate command changes only the location.
Are existing coordinates overwritten?
Not by default. You must deliberately enable the dedicated option.
Which GPX files are supported?
GPX or XML files with track points, route points, or waypoints that include valid coordinates and an ISO 8601 timestamp. Elevation is optional.
Is this an official Insta360 app?
No. InstaDateFix is an independent app and is not affiliated with, sponsored by, or endorsed by Insta360.
