Trasfering photos over WiFi from iPhones to Windows PCs

Microsoft 'Photos Companion' iPhone app allows for easy transfer of pictures to Windows 10 PC over WiFi.


This is a good (really, great) feature as it is presently not possible to transfer pictures from, for example, iPhone to PC. iPhone6 does not have any USB ports, nor its Bluetooth is not supported when transferring to a PC.

It is good if it works all the time.

Windows 10 Pro: In photos, under Settings there is no Preview item, under which you are supposed to turn on Help Microsoft test the mobile import over Wi-Fi feature.

I downloaded the Photo Companion app on my iPhone 6. There was no problem.

I tried in my PC which has a Microsoft photos app. It is supposed to import from mobile over WiFi option. However this option does not exist. You can either import From a folder or From a USB device as shown here.


I am not sure if it is something to do with Build 1707_prerelease-flt.180116-1539 version of Windows 10 Pro OS.

I tried to download an update for 'photos' app, but it failed to update.

I sent error code (Code: 0x80073CF9) to Microsoft.

Apple shows off

Microsoft Edge was able to play the streaming video from Apple site. Watched with interest at this Apple's special event. There were lots of things Apple showed off. There was the phones, the watch, the iPads and the Apple TV.

I only watched couple of minutes. Here are some stills from the streaming video on my Windows 10.





The Windows 10 Technical preview for Phones also runs Microsoft Edge. It still has lots of edges (no pun intended) like freezing up,  stopped videos etc but works most of the time OK. Needs switching off the phone the hard way and switch again to reset whatever that went wrong.
Here are some still captures on my Windows 10 Technical Preview for Phones:
