After selecting the desired folder or application, click on the “Apply” or “Sync” button in the bottom-right corner of the iTunes window. This will initiate the process of moving the files back to your iPhone’s camera roll.
Once the syncing process is complete, you can disconnect your iPhone from your computer. The files you have selected will now be available in the camera roll of your iPhone, ready to be accessed and viewed at any time.
