I actually find it easier to use the iCloud option for saving photos instead of Google Photos. It's more seamless for me with my other Apple devices.
I tried this method yesterday, and it worked perfectly! I was able to download all my favorite family pictures without any hassle. Just make sure you have enough storage on your iPhone first!
