iPhone Basics

Photos

When you take a photo or video on your iPhone, it goes straight to the Photos app. You can use Photos to organize your photos and videos into albums, create slideshows, and share your media in a variety of ways.

Editing photos

The Photos app also lets you edit your photos with simple options like rotate, enhance, remove red-eye, and crop. This is an easy way to correct minor problems with your photos without using an advanced image editor.

To access editing options, tap Edit while viewing a photo in full-screen mode.

Tapping edit

Editing options will appear at the bottom of the screen. When you're done editing the photo, tap Save.

Choosing how to share the picture

If you connect your iPhone to your computer with the included USB cable, you'll be able to move photos from your iPhone onto your computer. Check out Apple's page on Importing Photos to learn how.

You can also sync photos wirelessly between devices using iCloud Photo Sharing. Check out Apple's overview of iCloud Photo Sharing to learn more about how it works.
