Tips 1. Actually, the introduction above mainly applies to iPhones. For Android mobile phones, the process is quite similar except for the following points:
- You can connect your Android mobile phones to PC with more versatile ways, including using USB cable, scanning QR code and entering verification code.
- For Android users, instead of tapping “Trust”, you need to turn on USB debugging mode. And when a window pops up in your phone that says “Allow USB debugging?”, make sure to press “OK” button so that the computer can read your phone data.
- Apart from setting photos as your desktop background, you can also set them as your mobile wallpaper, which is much simpler than doing it on your phone.

Moreover, while you are previewing photos, you have many options to make your viewing experience better, such as zoom in/out, display in full screen, rotate left/right, and play automatically according to the time interval you set.
