How to Annotate Jobsite Photos on iPhone in Seconds

Clear communication on a construction site often comes down to one thing: photos. But a plain picture doesn’t always tell the full story. That’s why every contractor needs the ability to annotate jobsite photos on iPhone—to highlight issues, label progress, and make sure nothing is misunderstood. With WorkFotos, you can mark up photos in seconds and keep your team, subs, and clients on the same page.

Why Annotations Matter for Contractors

Photos without context can create confusion. Annotations turn them into actionable instructions:

• Highlight issues: Circle problem areas so crews know exactly what to fix.
• Add notes: Label materials, dimensions, or installation details.
• Show progress: Mark what’s been completed vs. what’s left.
• Clarify for clients: Provide simple visual explanations instead of long descriptions.

In construction, every detail counts. Annotated iPhone photos eliminate guesswork.

How to Annotate Jobsite Photos on iPhone With WorkFotos

WorkFotos makes photo markup simple for contractors using iPhones. Here’s how:

Step 1: Capture or Upload a Photo

Use your iPhone camera to snap a new picture or upload an existing one from your library into the WorkFotos app.

Step 2: Open the Annotation Tool

Select the photo inside WorkFotos and tap “Annotate.” The editing tools appear directly on your iPhone screen.

Step 3: Draw, Highlight, or Add Text

Use your finger to circle areas, draw arrows, or add text notes. Whether it’s a wiring issue or a paint correction, your annotations are instantly visible.

Step 4: Save and Share

Once annotated, the photo is saved inside the correct jobsite folder (organized by address). You can then share it with your crew or send a client link directly from your iPhone.

Benefits of Annotating Photos on iPhone

• Faster communication: No need to type out long explanations—show it visually.
• Reduced errors: Crews see exactly what needs to be done.
• Professional reports: Annotated photos look sharp in client updates.
• Accountability: Every annotation is tied to a time-stamped photo stored by address.

• Electricians: Label junction boxes and circuits inside walls.
