This guide will walk you through the process step by step, and before you know it, you’ll be a pro at transferring photos. So, let’s dive right in, shall we?
Method 1: Using Windows Photos App
The Windows Photos app is a built-in feature of Windows 10, and it’s a simple way to import your iPhone photos.
- Connect your iPhone to your PC using a USB cable. If a prompt appears on your iPhone asking you to Trust This Computer, tap Trust.
- Open the Photos app on your PC. You can do this by typing “Photos” into the search bar at the bottom left of your screen and clicking on the Photos app icon.
- Click the Import button in the top-right corner of the Photos app.
- Select From a USB device. The app will then look for devices to import from.
- Choose your iPhone. The Photos app will display all the photos and videos that are on your iPhone.
- Select the photos you want to import. If you want to import all new photos, click Import All New Items. If you want to select specific photos, click each photo you want to import.
- Click Import. The Photos app will start importing your photos. Once the import is complete, the app will tell you how many photos were imported and whether there were any duplicates that were not imported.
Method 2: Using iCloud
If you have iCloud set up, you can use it to transfer photos from your iPhone to your PC.
- Set up iCloud on your iPhone. Go to Settings > [Your Name] > iCloud > Photos, then turn on iCloud Photos.
