- Tap on the folder that contains the photos you want to transfer to your computer, then tap on the photos you want to transfer.
- Tap on the “Share” icon (the square with the upward-facing arrow) in the bottom-left corner of the screen, then tap on “Save to device.”
- Choose the location on your iPhone where you want to save the photos, then tap on “Save” to begin the transfer process.
- Once the photos are transferred to your iPhone, you can connect your iPhone to your computer and transfer the photos to your computer using one of the methods described above (either iCloud or iTunes).
