If you are wondering how to transfer photos from iPhone to a computer, then you have come to the right place. You might think it’s more tricky to transfer photos from an iPhone to a Windows computer than to a Mac, and you’d technically be right. But that doesn’t mean it’s difficult — in fact far from it. But you needn’t worry anyway, as we’ll be covering both here.
Transfer Photos from iPhone to a Windows PC
- Connect iPhone and Windows PC using a cable.
- A popup will appear on your iPhone, asking you to allow the PC to access photos and videos. Tap Allow.
- On your PC, a notification popup will appear in the bottom right of the screen. Click the popup.
- A menu will appear in the top right of your screen. Click Import photos and videos.
- Select the images you want to import from your iPhone.

Note: Alternatively, click the Select dropdown and choose a predefined set of photos to import, such as all photos since the last import, or the entire photos library.

Transfer Photos from iPhone to a Mac
Via iCloud-
