Solution 1. Upload to SharePoint from iPhone via App

To fix how to move photos from iPhone to SharePoint, you can install the SharePoint app on iPhone and log in to upload photos and videos from iPhone. Below are the detailed steps.

Step 1. Download the SharePoint mobile app from the App Store and install it on your iPhone.

Note: When you open the SharePoint mobile app for the first time after installing it, you'll see a login screen where you can choose to log in to SharePoint Online or SharePoint Server (the on-premises version of SharePoint that the local IT team runs). For simplicity, you can sign in to SharePoint Online with your account. If your organization uses SharePoint Server on-premises, you will need to obtain login information from your IT department.
