How to Transfer Photos to iPhone without iTunes

For iPhone users, iTunes is the most frequently-used tool when they transfer photos to their phone devices. Nevertheless, it is not always applicable. In the situations where one is using a computer that does not have iTunes installed or one forgets the Apple ID or password, which, in another word, means iTunes is not available, he or she needs to find another way out. From another aspect, iTunes is not very easily-operated, and it has a big deficiency that it will automatically remove previous pictures stored in the Photo Library when you sync your iPhone even if you do not want to. In consideration of above circumstances, here I would like to share with you three kinds of free and fast ways to solve the problem.

Easy Solutions to Transfer Photos to iPhone without iTunes

1. Conventional but risky way
2. Powerful and handy application
3. Useful yet limited tool

Way 1: Jailbreaking

As we all know, Apple and Apple Store set extremely strict or even arbitrary limitations on the files that are to be downloaded in iPhone. iTunes is the only default program that allows data transferring to iPhone from computer. However, jailbreaking can allow users to remove restrictions on Apple’s iOS system and get root access to iPhone. In this way, people can manage and transfer files without the help of iTunes. After your iPhone is jailbroken, you can still use iTunes, App Store and other normal functions, such as sending messages and making phone calls. Given this, jailbreaking is an alternative that you can choose to import photos from PC to iPhone.

Cons: Jailbreaking may bring security, privacy and stability problems to iPhone. Some jailbreaking software may leak users’ private information, like device ID or location. Besides, it may result in instability of the phone system, and it has a possibility of turning iPhone into a totally useless “brick” if not handled well. Thus, to transfer photos to iPhone without iTunes, you need to take a little risk.

Way 2: Powerful Mobile Management Software
