This feature is included in the Photos app bundled with Windows 11, and it should start rolling out to insiders this week. Once the testing is complete, it will be rolled out to all Windows 11 users. Once you get this feature, you will be able to add your iCloud account to the photos app just like how you sync your OneDrive photos. This integration is expected sometime in November this year. Once this feature is enabled, it will remove barriers and make it more seamless to connect to what matters across platforms and devices.
Through a new integration with iCloud and the Photos app in Windows 11, you will be able to access all your photos and videos from your iPhone right in the Photos app.
