Photos on iPhone 4

I’m having trouble getting some photos of my old iPhone 4, I’ve gotten the photos that are in the camera roll off but there’s other photos that are in folders and the folder says example ‘1 photo from my computer’ and I can’t remember how the photos got on the phone and I don’t know how to get them off. Also it doesn’t have an Apple ID signed in and I’m not sure if I sign in if it’ll make the photo’s delete

Probably you may have synced these Photos from your Mac/PC through iTunes. UN-sync then they would be gone from the iPhone.


UN-Sync photos to your device

  1. Connect your device to your Mac.
  2. You can connect your device using a USB or USB-C cable or using a Wi-Fi connection. To turn on Wi-Fi syncing, see Sync content between your Mac and iPhone or iPad over Wi-Fi.
  3. In the Finder  on your Mac, select the device in the Finder sidebar.
  5. Select Photos in the button bar.
  7. Note: When iCloud Photos is turned on, no photo syncing options appear when you select Photos in the button bar.
  8. Select “Sync Photos to your device from” tickbox, then choose Photos, Pictures or a folder from the pop-up menu.
  10. Uncheck Sync photos
  11. Click on Apply / Sync
