I can't access photos I synced from my computer (PC) onto my iphone..

I am finding that I cannot access synced photos (via itunes) on my iphone. It shows up in my images app, but snapchat, instagram, or any other @^#* social media app is unable to read them.

I make photos and infographics on my computer with canva, and then transfer them onto my iphone 7 via Itunes syncing via USB, and I am unable to post them onto social media via iphone apps (they act like there is no image there)..?

**FYI, most of the so called "solutions" are marketed towards people who have MAC and android..

Any solutions anyone?

How do I transfer images onto my iphone and post it to social media via the apps on my iphone (without jailbreaking or hacking)??

iPhone 7, iOS 13

Hello there M2_Owl,

Thanks for using Apple Support Communities!

I understand that you are having issues with posting photos to social media accounts after syncing them from iTunes to your iPhone. I am more than happy to help you out with this.

An alternative to this could be to use iCloud Photos. If your iCloud Photos are turned on for both devices, your photos will update across all of your devices once they are added to iCloud. For instructions on how to use iCloud photos follow the steps in this article on both of your devices:

Set up and use iCloud Photos

Photos can also be added to iCloud by dragging and dropping them from their location in Finder directly to the photos section on iCloud.com.

Once they are in iCloud, if you want to download the originals to any of your devices follow the steps in this article:

Download iCloud photos and videos

After doing these steps, attempt to see if your social media accounts recognize them.

I hope this helps! Have a great day!
