Why Do Some Photos and Videos Appear on the Wrong Dates?

Understanding Date Accuracy in Timehop:

• Occasionally, you might encounter a picture labeled "1 Year Ago" when it's actually from a different timeframe, such as 10 years ago. We understand this can be frustrating.

Key Factor: Metadata Accuracy:

• The accuracy of Timehop's date display relies on the metadata associated with your photos or videos.
• If the metadata is inaccurate, Timehop's timeline may also display incorrect dates.

Possible Reasons for Date Inaccuracy:

• Previous Timehop Saves: If you saved the picture from your Timehop a year ago, it might retain that date instead of the original one.
• Multiple Storage Locations: Pictures stored across various platforms like the camera roll, Dropbox, or Instagram may have different metadata, leading to discrepancies.
• Cloud Backup Issues: Cloud backups, especially during device upgrades or changes, could affect metadata accuracy, resulting in incorrect dates on Timehop.
