OS 5 Photos: modify the Created Date

Hi all,

How would I change the Created: attribute?
Which exif metadata or file attribute does OS5 Photos use?

2022-03-25 23.11.26

I’ve tried to change the exif:CreateDate and exif:ModifyDate, but it doesn’t seem to work.

$ exiftool test.jpg | grep Date
File Modification Date/Time     : 2022:03:25 23:09:01+00:00
File Access Date/Time           : 2022:03:25 23:09:00+00:00
File Inode Change Date/Time     : 2022:03:25 23:09:01+00:00
Modify Date                     : 2021:02:05 03:06:03
Create Date                     : 2021:02:05 03:05:03

$ identify -verbose test.jpg | grep Date
      Created Date[2,55]: 20210205
    exif:DateTime: 2021:02:05 03:06:03
    exif:DateTimeDigitized: 2021:02:05 03:05:03
