How To: Back Up IPhone Photos To A Mac, Windows And The Cloud

Protect your precious memories by remembering to back up your iPhone photos. If you’ve ever lost your phone, or fallen victim to a dodgy software update, you’ll be able to testify to the horror felt when you realise you don’t have an iPhone backup, meaning all your files and photos are gone. Sadly, it’s incredibly difficult to get these files back once they’ve been deleted in this way so the only way to protect yourself against it happening again is via pre-emptive photo backups. Thankfully, this is a much more simple task. There are two main ways to backup iPhone photos - one involves backing them up to a computer, the other saves them to the cloud. If you’re frequently syncing and backing up your iPhone to your computer, using iTunes, you’re most likely already backing your iPhone photos up. Merely backing up your iPhone photos using iTunes will store all your photos on the program, however you won’t be able to access these photos unless you have the need to restore your iPhone from a backup. Thanks to Apple’s all-in ecosystem, backing up your photos to your Mac is the simplest way to keep your photos safe.
