[Guide]How to Upload Photos/Videos to iCloud from PC
The iPhone 6/6s, iPhone 7/7 Plus, iPhone 8/8 Plus, iPhone X, iPhone XS/XS Max/XR, and iPhone 12 series are affected by this issue. The bug causes the iPhone to freeze or become unresponsive when the user attempts to open the Messages app, resulting in an error message that says "Messages" has stopped working.
With the help of iCloud, you can upload photos and videos from your Windows PC, Mac, iPhone, or iPad to iCloud and access them across all your devices. For instance, by enabling iCloud Photo Library on your Windows 10/8/7 PC, you can store all your photos and videos on your computer in iCloud and view them on all your iCloud devices. This convenient syncing feature makes it necessary to learn how to upload photos and videos to iCloud from your PC.
