You can now more easily work with iCloud-synced photos via the Photos app in Windows 10. Read more at TechRepublic.
Viewing and managing photos from your iPhone via iCloud has always been much easier on a Mac than on a Windows PC. That’s because iCloud access is built directly into the Mac.
Apple does make an iCloud for Windows app, but it doesn’t quite do the trick on its own. To help iPhone and iCloud users, Microsoft has added iCloud support to the Photos app in Windows 11. This means you can now view, open and edit your iCloud-synced iPhone pictures directly in the Photos app. Let’s see how it works.
First, make sure you’re syncing your photos and videos to iCloud through your iPhone. On your phone, go to Settings, select your name at the top and then tap iCloud. In the section for Apps Using iCloud, tap the option for Photos and turn on the switch for Sync This iPhone if it’s not already on. Allow time for your photo library to sync to iCloud (Figure A).
