无论您是想在社交媒体上分享照片还是通过电子邮件发送照片， iPhone 和 iPad 上“照片”(Photos)中的默认命名约定都不理想。我们将向您展示重命名图片的各种方法。
要记住的重要一点是，Apple尚未提供在移动设备上的“照片”应用程序中重命名图像的功能。(Photos)但是，您可以使用一些解决方法，具体取决于您的照片计划。让我们看看如何在 iPhone 和 iPad 上重命名照片。
关于在 iPhone 和 iPad 上
重命名照片(Renaming Photos)
如前所述，照片(Photos)应用程序中图片的文件名是默认设置的。您用相机拍摄的
照片或捕获的屏幕截图被命名为“IMG_”，后跟一个数字。(Photos)
这显然不是一个描述性的名称。在Apple增强照片(Photos)以允许更改名称之前，您可以使用以下方法之一。您可以添加标题以简化搜索，从“文件”(Files)应用程序保存和共享重命名的照片，或更改您捕获和共享的屏幕截图的名称。
Mac用户须知：您可以在 macOS 上的“照片”(Photos)中重命名图像；但是，即使您使用 iCloud 同步来共享照片，(use iCloud sync for sharing Photos)这些名称也不会保留到 iPhone 或 iPad 上。
添加标题(Add Captions)以在 iPhone 和 iPad 上
搜索照片(Search Photos)
如果您想要重命名照片的原因是为了更轻松地在“照片”(Photos)应用程序中进行搜索，则可以利用“字幕”(Captions)功能。这允许您向图像添加描述，然后使用标题中的关键字进行搜索。
- 打开照片(Photos)应用程序并选择一张图片。
- 点击信息(Info)图标（小写字母“i”）可显示图像详细信息(the image details)。您会在 iPhone 上找到该图标，在 iPad 上看到该图标位于右上角。
- 在“添加(Add)标题”(Caption)字段中输入您的描述，然后在完成后
点击“完成” 。(Done)
您添加的标题会通过 iCloud 与其他设备上的照片(Photos)同步，从而可以轻松地在其他设备上搜索该照片。
在这里，我们在照片中添加了标题“泳池边的贝利”。然后，使用搜索(Search)功能，我们输入该标题中的一两个单词。如您所见，照片出现在结果列表中。
请注意，在添加标题后，您可能需要等待几分钟，以便照片应用程序建立索引，然后再使用(Photos)“搜索”(Search)。
重命名照片并将其保存(Save Photos)到文件应用程序(Files App)
虽然您拍摄的照片驻留在iPhone 和 iPad 上的“照片”(Photos)应用程序中，但您可以使用您选择的名称将其保存到“文件”应用程序中。(Files)从那里，您可以与朋友分享照片或将其发布到社交媒体上，并保留完整的姓名。
- 打开“照片”(Photos)，选择图片，然后点击iPhone 底部或 iPad 左上角的
“共享”图标（带箭头的方形）。(Share)
- 选择保存到文件。
- 在弹出窗口中，选择文件(Files)中照片的保存位置。
- 在照片底部，点击标题字段中的名称并将其替换为您自己的名称。
- 点击顶部的“保存” ，您将在(Tap Save)“文件”(Files)中获得具有指定名称的
照片副本。
重命名文件中的现有照片
如果您已将图像保存到“文件”(Files)应用程序而未重命名，则仍然可以直接在“文件”(Files)中执行此操作。
- 打开文件并执行以下操作之一：
- 长按(Long-press)（点击并按住）照片并选择“重命名”(Rename)。
- 选择图像将其打开，点击顶部名称旁边的箭头，然后选择“重命名”(Rename)。
- 输入(Enter)新名称并点击键盘上的
“完成” 。(Done)
然后，您可以对图像执行操作，例如发送或共享图像。如果您已打开照片，请点击“完成”(Done)退出编辑模式并返回“文件”(Files)。
更改屏幕截图的名称
Apple允许的一件事是重命名您在 iPhone 上捕获的屏幕截图(screenshots you capture on your iPhone)。您可以打开截图后看到的浮动缩略图并重命名。然后，在将其保存到“照片”(Photos)之前，将其分享或发布到您喜欢的地方。
截至撰写本文时，此方法不适用于iPad 上的屏幕截图(screenshots on iPad)，并且您不会像在 iPhone 上那样
看到“重命名”选项。(Rename)
- 同时按住侧边(Side)按钮和音量调高按钮，照常捕获屏幕截图。在带有主页(Home)按钮的早期 iPhone 型号上，使用侧面(Side)按钮和主页(Home)按钮来截取屏幕截图。
- 当您看到左下角的浮动缩略图时，点击将其打开。请务必在缩略图消失并且屏幕截图最终显示在“照片”(Photos)应用程序中之前执行此操作。
- 点击共享按钮。
- 选择弹出屏幕顶部的
重命名。(Rename)
- 输入(Enter)照片名称并点击提交(Submit)以保存。
然后，您可以使用共享表(Share Sheet)（该表仍应处于打开状态）将照片发送到您喜欢的位置。
如果您通过“消息”(Messages)或“邮件”(Mail)发送屏幕截图，您的收件人将看到您指定的名称。但是，如果您随后将图像保存到Photos，则该名称将不会保留。
您会使用解决方法(Workaround)来重命名照片(Photos)吗？
为什么苹果(Apple)没有提供在 iPhone 和 iPad 上重命名照片的方法是一个谜。希望(Hopefully)这是一个将在未来添加的功能。在此之前，您可以根据您想要对照片执行的操作有一些解决方法。你会(Will)用一个吗？

How to Rename Photos on Your iPhone or iPad
Whether you want to share a photo on ѕocial media or send one in an email, the default naming cоnvention in Photos on iPhone and iPad isn’t ideal. We’ll show yoυ various ways to rename your pictures.
One important point to remember is that Apple hasn’t yet provided the ability to rename images in the Photos app on your mobile device. However, there are a few workarounds you can use, depending on your plan for the photo. Let’s look at how to rename photos on iPhone and iPad.
About Renaming Photos on iPhone and iPad
As mentioned, the filenames of pictures in the Photos app are set by default. Photos you take with your camera or screenshots you capture are named “IMG_” followed by a number.
This obviously isn’t a descriptive name. Until Apple enhances Photos to allow for name changes, you can use one of the below methods. You can add captions for simpler searching, save and share renamed photos from the Files app or change the names of screenshots you capture and share.
One note for Mac users: You can rename images in Photos on macOS; however, those names do not carry over to iPhone or iPad even if you use iCloud sync for sharing Photos.
Add Captions to Search Photos on iPhone and iPad
If the reason you want to rename your photos is for simpler searching in the Photos app, you can take advantage of the Captions feature. This allows you to add a description to the image and then use keywords in the caption to search.
- Open the Photos app and select a picture.
- Tap the Info icon (small letter “i”) to display the image details. You’ll find the icon at the bottom on iPhone and the top right on iPad.
- Enter your description in the Add a Caption field and tap Done when you finish.
The caption you add syncs with Photos on your other devices with iCloud, making it easy to search for that photo on another device.
Here, we added the caption “Bailey by the pool” to our photo. Then, using the Search feature, we enter a word or two from that caption. As you can see, the photo appears in the list of results.
Note that you may need to wait a few minutes for the Photos app to index after adding the caption before you use Search.
Rename and Save Photos to the Files App
While a picture you snap resides in the Photos app on iPhone and iPad, you can save it to the Files app with a name of your choice. From there, you can share the photo with a pal or post it on social media with the name intact.
- Open Photos, select the picture, and tap the Share icon (square with an arrow) on the bottom on the iPhone or the top left on the iPad.
- Choose Save to Files.
- In the pop-up window, pick the location to save the photo in Files.
- At the bottom of the photo, tap the name in the title field and replace it with your own.
- Tap Save at the top, and you’ll have a copy of the photo in Files with your assigned name.
Rename Existing Photos in Files
If you’ve already saved an image to the Files app without renaming it, you can still do so directly in Files.
- Open Files and do one of the following:
- Long-press (tap and hold) the photo and choose Rename.
- Select the image to open it, tap the arrow at the top next to the name, and choose Rename.
- Enter the new name and tap Done on your keyboard.
You can then take an action with your image like sending or sharing it. If you have the photo open, tap Done to exit edit mode and return to Files.
Change the Names of Screenshots
One thing Apple does allow is the renaming of screenshots you capture on your iPhone. You can open the floating thumbnail you see after taking the screenshot and rename it. Then, share it or post it where you please before you save it to Photos.
As of this writing, this method does not work for screenshots on iPad, and you do not see the Rename option as you do on the iPhone.
- Capture your screenshot as normal by simultaneously pressing and holding the Side and Volume Up buttons. On earlier iPhone models with a Home button, use the Side and Home buttons to take a screenshot.
- When you see the floating thumbnail in the bottom left corner, tap to open it. Be sure to do this before the thumbnail vanishes and the screenshot ends up in the Photos app.
- Tap the Share button.
- Select Rename at the top of the pop-up screen.
- Enter the photo name and tap Submit to save it.
You can then use the Share Sheet, which should still be open, to send the photo where you like.
If you send the screenshot via Messages or Mail, your recipient will see the name you assigned. However, if you then save the image to Photos, the name will not remain.
Will You Use a Workaround to Rename Photos?
Why Apple hasn’t provided a way to rename photos on iPhone and iPad is a mystery. Hopefully, it’s a feature that will be added down the road. Until then, you have a few workarounds depending on what you want to do with the photo. Will you use one?
