If you want to transfer files from your computer to your iPhone camera roll, you may find it a bit tricky at first. The camera roll is where all your photos and videos are stored on your iPhone, and it’s not as simple as just dragging and dropping files like you would on a regular USB drive. However, with the right tools and methods, you can easily transfer files from your PC to your iPhone camera roll.
One common method is to use iTunes to sync your files from your computer to your iPhone. You can connect your iPhone to your computer using a USB cable and then use iTunes to select the files you want to transfer. This method is convenient and works well, but it requires you to have iTunes installed on your computer.
Another option is to use third-party apps or cloud services to transfer files from your PC to your iPhone camera roll. There are several apps available that allow you to transfer files wirelessly or through a cloud service like Dropbox or Google Drive. These apps are easy to use and can be a great alternative if you don’t want to use iTunes.
