The addition of date stamps to iPhone photos isn’t something you can do with the default Photos application directly. You’ll need an additional app from a third party to complete the task. There are a lot of these available on the market and, fortunately most are free.
My aunt asked me to stamp a time-stamped image on the photos she took on vacation. I was able to achieve this through downloading TimeStamp IT, the TimeStamp IT App from the Apple app store.
Below, I’ve explained how you can make use of the app for adding the dates and time on your photos and also looking at some of the other fantastic time stamp applications.

One of the advantages of using the application is the possibility to add and date stamp many images simultaneously.
Some iPhone users are able to utilize it, however. It is required to have at minimum iOS 14.1 (or a more recent version.

Alternatively, you can:

3. 1998 Cam
In comparison to the other two alternatives that I have on my list, the 1998 Cam isn’t as good as the other two. But this doesn’t mean that it’s not worth the price. It can transform images to appear retro using it, which is cool. There are over 100 filters you can experiment with, too.
