The Geotagging feature as available on most smartphones and digital cameras automatically adds Location, Date and other information to Photos and Videos.

The location information is stored on the photo's EXIF (Exchangeable Image File) data, along with other useful details like Date, Time, Camera model & make, Shutter speed, Focal length, ISO speed and other information.

The Location Data as recorded on the photographs is precise and pin-points the exact geographical location of the place where a particular photo was taken.
