FoneTool offers two ways to transfer photos to your iPhone: the first way is to transfer photos from your PC to your iPhone with the help of the FoneTool App, after the transfer is complete, these photos can be deleted and edited on your iPhone. The second way is to transfer photos directly to your iPhone, this way does not require the installation of FoneTool App, but the photos cannot be deleted or edited on your iPhone.
