Q: Can't see all iPhone photos on computer

Hi,

 

I have a huge number of photos in my iPhone and it's getting full. So I wanted to transfer all my photos to my computer. However, when I connect the phone to Photos app or Image Capture in my Mac, I see that there is a difference in the number of photos between them and the number on my phone.

 

I don't want to loose my photos, so can you suggest a way to confirm that all my photos are being transferred to my computer?

iPhone 6 Plus, iOS 9.3.1

    you can only imports pics in your camera roll... ie taken photos, screenshots, save from text etc.

     

    Import photos and videos from your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch - Apple Support

    Thanks for your reply.

     

    Maybe my question was not clear. When I go to my camera roll in my iPhone, I see for example 1000 pictures there. However, when I connect the phone to my Mac and go to Photos app or Image Capture app, I see only 850 pictures. Where is the rest? Is there anything I'm missing?

    Thank you. My issue is not how to import. My issue is that the number of photos is inconsistent between my iPhone camera roll and the number of photos ready to be imported in my Photos app in my mac.
