I am using iCloud for a Windows PC. I have it set to download my photos to my picture folder on my computer. Why does it download two pictures eventhough i only took one picture?
Windows, Windows 10
Hey squill,
Thanks for those answers. If you’re using an iPhone on iOS 11 or later, your iPhone is capturing the image in a high efficiency format that may not be fully compatible with your PC. When this happens your PC will save the original format as well as converting it to a format that is compatible with your computer.
