Thanks for the step-by-step guide! Iām a bit confused about connecting my iPhone to the computer. Do I need to have iTunes installed before the transfer process?
I followed these steps, and it worked exactly as you described! I usually transfer my photos using iCloud, but this was a different approach. One thing I noticed is that the transfer time varied a lot depending on the number of photos. I think I had around 50 photos, and it took a few minutes, but it was worth it. I appreciate the clear instructions!
