I followed the steps, but my iPhone doesn't show the photos in the camera roll. Is there something I might be missing?
Same issue happened to me once. Make sure you’re checking the right album. Sometimes they go to a different folder, not the main camera roll.
If the photos still don't appear, try restarting both iTunes and your iPhone. Also, ensure that your iPhone is updated to the latest iOS version.
I found using iCloud to be a much simpler method compared to iTunes. Why not mention that as an option?
I used this method last week to transfer photos from my computer to my iPhone. Initially, I was hesitant because I thought it would be complicated, but it was surprisingly easy! Just followed the steps and everything synced perfectly. I made sure to organize my photos in folders beforehand, which helped a lot. No issues at all during the transfer, and now I have all my favorite pictures right on my iPhone!
