in iOS 11 every time I plug my iPhone the Apple Photos program launches.
There must be a way to turn this off.
If it is Photos on the computer, that is the expected behavior. You can change that in Photos on the computer. I can't access mine right now to provide more detailed instructions, but I think if you select the phone in the sidebar, you can make the change. Also check Photos/Preferences.
What do you mean it opens? Plugging the device and leaving it connected to wifi will upload your photos to iCloud. The Photos app shouldn't open automatically.
When I plug my iPhone in Photos launches... how do I make that stop?
That's quite odd as when I plug my iPhone (into an electrical outlet), my Photos app doesn't automatically launch.
Are you plugging it into a computer?
yes via usb to lightening cable
Nothing in Preferences
There is a way to change it to not open. Since I don't have access to mine right now, I can't provide better instructions.
In MacOS High Sierra, you need to click on your device in the left-hand column then you should see a box you can untick towards the middle of the screen:
