Step 1: Connect your iPhone to your PC
The first step is to connect your iPhone to your PC using a USB cable. Make sure your PC is turned on and unlocked. Once you connect the iPhone, you may see a prompt on your iPhone asking for permission to allow access. Tap “Allow” to proceed.
Step 2: Open the Photos app on your PC
Next, open the Photos app on your PC. You can find it by going to the Start menu and typing “Photos” in the search bar. Click on the Photos app to open it.
Step 3: Import iPhone photos to your PC
Inside the Photos app, click on the “Import” button located at the top right corner. This will open a new window with your iPhone’s photos displayed. If you want to import all photos, simply click on the “Import All New Items” button. If you only wish to import selected photos, click on the ones you want to import and then click on the “Import Selected” button.
Step 4: Choose the destination folder
After selecting the photos you want to import, the app will prompt you to choose the destination folder where the photos will be saved on your PC. You can either select an existing folder or create a new one. Once you’ve made your selection, click on the “Import” button to start the transfer process.
Step 5: Wait for the transfer to complete
Now, sit back and relax while the Photos app transfers your selected photos from your iPhone to your PC. The transfer time may vary depending on the number and size of the photos. Once the transfer is complete, you can access your iPhone photos on your PC in the designated destination folder.
Step 6: Safely disconnect your iPhone from your PC
When you are done transferring your photos, make sure to safely disconnect your iPhone from your PC. This prevents any potential data loss or damage. To safely disconnect, locate the “Safely Remove Hardware and Eject Media” icon in the taskbar, right-click on it, and select your iPhone from the list. Wait until you see a notification saying it is safe to remove the device, and then unplug your iPhone from the USB cable.
