So the said file will occupy double storage on your iPhone\/iPad \u2013 one in the Files app and also the Photos app.<br\/><br\/>After that, if you delete the photo from the Files app, it will still be available in the Photos app. The same goes for the vice-versa situation. That is, if you delete anything from the Photos app, the original file can still be accessed on the Files app. So whenever you move photos or videos to the Photos app, try to keep a single copy only to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.guidingtech.com\/why-iphone-so-slow\/\">save storage space on your iPhone or iPad.<\/a><\/p> <\/div> <div class=\"schema-faq-section\" id=\"faq-question-1708308346614\"><strong class=\"schema-faq-question\">2. What to do if photos or videos are not saved from Files to the Photos app?<\/strong> <p class=\"schema-faq-answer\">First, make sure you have enough storage on your iPhone. Secondly, check the storage location of the file. If it\u2019s saved in a cloud storage, you need to follow different steps as explained above. Also, check that no restrictions are set on the Photos app. For that, go to Settings &gt; Screen Time &gt; Content &amp; Privacy Restrictions &gt; Photos. Select Allow changes.<\/p> <\/div> <div class=\"schema-faq-section\" id=\"faq-question-1708308357595\"><strong class=\"schema-faq-question\">3. Why can\u2019t I save PDF files from the Files app to the Photos app?<\/strong> <p class=\"schema-faq-answer\">You cannot move or save PDF files from the Files app to the Photos app using the above methods. If you want to convert PDF to image, check out <a href=\"https:\/\/www.guidingtech.com\/convert-pdf-to-png-on-iphone\/\">other ways<\/a> for that.<\/p> <\/div> <\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-save-the-file\">Save the File<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>That&#8217;s how you can save photos or videos from files to the Camera roll on your iPhone or iPad.
