How to Back up your photos from your iPhone to your computer

After taking a satisfactory photo with the iPhone X portrait mode, it's recommended that you back them up in case they got lost or deleted by accident. Usually you can use iTunes or iCloud, but iTunes is a bit inconvenient and complicated when you use it to transfer photos from your iPhone to your computer, and when you use it to back up your photos, you will also have your entire phone backed up and when you want to restore your photos, you will have to restore your whole phone which means the data currently on your iPhone will be rewritten. And the storage space on iCloud is limited. If you have a lot of photos, the storage space on iCloud could be easily exceeeded. Here I would recommend that you use Leawo iOS Data Recovery, it's an extremely easy-to-use data recovery program as well as a data backing up program. You can use it to back up 14 different types of data to your computer seperately and when your photos got deleted by mistake, you can use it to retrieve them with ease.

1. Open the program on your computer first and then when you see 3 tabs appear on the interface, click Recover from iOS Device.

2. Connect your iPhone X to your computer with the lightning cable that comes with the phone. The original cable is always preferred. The program will have to scan your iPhone first to look for the deleted photos. So click on the Start button after you plug in your iPhone.

3. Wait for the program to finish scanning and then enable Only display deleted items option and you will only see the files you deleted on the interface. Select the files you want to restore and then click the Recover button.
