Download pictures from iPhone to computer without iCloud

To download pictures from your iPhone to your PC without them going into the cloud, you can use a USB cable to connect your iPhone to your PC. Once your iPhone is connected, you can access the photos on your iPhone and transfer them to your PC using the file management system on your computer. Here's a step-by-step guide on how to do this:

1. Connect your iPhone to your PC using a USB cable.
2. On your PC, go to the "Start" menu and search for "File Explorer".
3. In File Explorer, navigate to "This PC" and then double-click on your iPhone to access its files.
4. In your iPhone's file directory, navigate to the "DCIM" folder, which contains your photos.
5. Select the photos you want to transfer to your PC and then copy and paste them into a folder on your computer. Alternatively, you can drag and drop the photos from your iPhone to a folder on your PC.
6. Once the transfer is complete, you can safely disconnect your iPhone from your PC. The photos will be saved on your computer and will not be uploaded to the cloud.

Keep in mind that this method will only work if your iPhone is connected to your PC using a USB cable. If you want to download photos from your iPhone to your PC without using a cable, you can use a cloud-based service like Google Photos or iCloud to transfer the photos wirelessly. However, this will require you to upload the photos to the cloud before you can download them to your PC.
