Now a day’s with powerful smartphone cameras, most of us have become professional photographers. We simply don’t want to miss a moment, and that is why we keep on capturing those precious moments.

It can be a selfie with your friend while you met him in the Café. It could be a group selfie, as it was one your colleague’s last day in office. It could be anything. A moment is a moment, and at any cost, we want to preserve that moment.

However, at the end of the day what you have got is a lot of digital photos on your phone. You might be thinking what will be the best solution to arrange them and store them at a proper place?

How can you escape from transferring the photos manually to the storage device?

It could be a pain to arrange the photos and transfer them to another device for storage. But, not anymore with the Photos App on Windows 10.

Organizing your favorite photos from your phone could be extremely easy. You can transfer the photos, store the photos, share the photos and you can edit the photos with the cool editing features.

To get started, the first thing you need to do is to find the Photo App. So just go to the search box located on the taskbar and type Photo. Select the Photo App from the list, and there you are.

You will find Photo App right in front of you. If you have never used this App before, then this screen will look like this.

You will get a blank screen like this since you are using this for the first time and there are no photos imported to the App.

However, if you want to check whether this app works or not, you can take a screenshot by pressing Windows key and the print screen together.

To your surprise, you will find that the screenshot has been saved directly to the Photos App.

  4. Oh this was such a great one. Am a travel blogger and transferring photos back and forth is such a time consuming thing. Will def try this out!

  5. How about iPhone? I always face trouble when I want to transfer photos from my iPhone to the lappy. Never have any problem with my Android phone before.

    1. You can Easily do that with google photos.You just need to sync.

  6. This is so helpful. I am the absolute worst when it comes to storing photos correctly and then always running out of space.

    1. Yes Windows Photo App is really great.Start using it & You will feel the differences.

  10. Amazing! I have a lot of photos and it’s normally an issue transferring them from the camera to the lappy to the phone. In fact, the final photo on my phone tends to lose its quality. I would absolutely need this!

  11. When Windows got rid of the movie maker and replaced it’s functionality with the photo app, I tried to use it. I didn’t like it though, I found it very hard to use so I ended up learning Premiere instead. It’s good for storage I suppose.

  12. I love that they are coming out with more ways to integrate devices etc. I also like that more and more companies are starting to share these abilities – you can upload things from your windows computer to your iphone, etc. Because, honestly, some companies are better at making some things than others and I will choose a product that is versatile over one that only works with other things by the same company. For example, I bought an Iphone but now I have to buy their accessories at a premium price instead of cheap headphones or even a headphone style that works for my ears. I dislike that and might not choose an iphone next time as a result.

    1. Yeas I agree.You can go for Android may be next time.

  13. I need this app. Storing photos can be such a task. Every time my phone get filled up I get annoyed. I think it’s great that this app allows you to edit as well.
