Exif is supplementary data that digital cameras or mobile phones automatically store with created photos. They may contain information about the camera, its detailed setting at the time of taking the photo (sensitivity, aperture, exposure), date and time of capture and also GPS. If the photo does not have this data stored, it will not be displayed.
