My iPhone photos have dates they were taken on.nottsphil said:How can they tell it's not an old photo using much lower figures (such a fraud would be pretty dumb currently!).Though I guess it’s possible to manipulate them🤔0 -
I've taken photos with an older digital camera (haven't got a smart phone!!) just making sure that the time and date is correct in the camera memory. When a supplier in the past, asked for photos ,they were satisfied with that.nottsphil said:How can they tell it's not an old photo using much lower figures (such a fraud would be pretty dumb currently!).0 -

When I have taken photo's of my electric and gas meters using a DSLR my camera has dates and time of the photo in the image. When I left bulb in Jan 2021 there was a query of the final readings and I sent them photo's that showed dates and times of the photo taken just 85 minutes before the move to Avro and they accepted them.GibbsRule_No3. said:

If the supplier thinks your photographs are plausible, they will accept them.
If not, they have the option to get people like me involved to advise. We’ve done this work several times before.0
