Time & date stamp on downloadable whatsapp photos

I would like to have the date when I receive a (non-dated) photo via an outside application, f.e. WhatsApp. Is there a way to attach a date and time to such photo's?

iPad Pro, iPadOS 18

I want Date and time stamp on photos When I click a picture on my phone, I want to know when and what it was taken by seeing the picture, I hate to go to the picture and click details every time. It's very annoying and when I share the picture this information is missing, so I want Apple to take into account and provide the date on time stamp on the picture I take.

How to get a visible date and time stamp on photos taken from native apple camera app? This is for iphone 15 promax. Thanks All photos taken from the native iPhone camera app are not showing any time and date stamp. I could not see anything on this in camera settings. Is there any way we can get them other than downloading other apps for camera?

Why does the Export of a WhatsApp Picture (which was send to me) from the Photos App does not Export the Date and Time which is shown in the Photos App Metadata/ EXIF data (which is the time I received it)? When I want to Export a Picture from the Photos app, which was send to me via WhatsApp it does not Export the Date and Time which is shown to me in the Photos app. The Date of the Example picture is shown in the photos app as 6. February 2022 at 16:54:47, which is also the Date and Time I received the Picture on WhatsApp. When I Export the Picture, no matter if 'normal' or as 'unmodified original' export it does not show this date at all and the Creation or Modification Date shows some other seemingly random date (7.November 2022). Pictures of one Example Export is attached. Addition: When I Export a Picture from the WhatsApp Album which I took and send to someone I do not have this problem. I'm really thankful for any help because I don't know how I can solve this problem!! Elias Screenshot of Picture in the Photos App: Screenshots in Preview of the Picture after I Exported the Picture:

If you are planning to save the photo to your device, you can ofc attach a date, time and location to the picture in the photos app. You could also edit metadata via an external app, like Adobe Photoshop or Affinity Photo. (Measures to attach metadata to photos without data received from e.g. WhatsApp)
