Once you’ve made your selection, tap on the “Import All” button to start importing the selected media to your iPhone.
Note: Depending on the size and quantity of the photos and videos you’re importing, the process may take some time. Make sure your iPhone is adequately charged or connected to a power source to avoid any interruptions.
Step 5: Access your imported photos and videos
After the import process is complete, you can find your imported photos and videos in the Albums tab of the Photos app. Look for the “Imported” album, where all the imported media will be stored.
