Trying to free up some space on your iPhone to create more storage for your special photos? It is useful to backup your photos to a PC just in case of a data loss. Or maybe you have decided to swap your iPhone for an Android and need a simple method for transferring over your favourite pics? This helpful guide will show you some quick and simple ways of transferring pictures from your iPhone to other devices.

The iPhone captures high-quality photos using the built-in iSight feature, especially some of the brand-new iPhones which feature an impressive 12MP camera. Therefore, it is easy to fill your storage up with great captures, photos saved from messaging apps and mail. This eats up how much you can store on your iPhone.
