Stops
How to fill in your past travels from your photos
Your photo library already knows where you’ve been. Stops can read the place and time of your photos and turn them into past visits, so trips, towns and countries from before Stops appear on their own. Then the photos you took at a place show up right there.

Step by step
-
Open the import
Open Journal from the book button at the end of the tab bar, then tap the Settings gear. Choose Import, then Visits from Photos.
-
Find visits
Tap Find Visits and allow access to your photos. Stops looks through the library for places where you took two or more photos or videos.
-
Review what was found and add it
Stops shows how many visits it found and across which years. Days already in your Timeline are left as they are. Tap Add.
Good to know
- Only each visit’s place and times are saved. Your photos are never copied, stored or uploaded.
- Places are named through Apple Maps afterwards, and a Building Your Journal card shows the progress.
- To undo it, the same screen has Remove Imported Visits.
