Answered by Jeremy Urbaniak

To transfer videos from your iPhone to a USB memory stick, you can follow these steps:

1. Connect the USB memory stick to your iPhone: Depending on the model of your iPhone, you may need an adapter to connect the USB stick. Once connected, your iPhone should recognize the USB stick as an external storage device.

2. Open the Photos app: Tap on the Photos app icon on your iPhone’s home screen. This app allows you to access all the photos and videos stored on your device.

3. Select the videos you want to transfer: In the Photos app, navigate to the album or folder where your videos are stored. Tap on the “Select” button located in the top right corner of the screen. Then, tap on each video you want to transfer to select them. You will see a blue checkmark appear on each selected video.

4. Share the videos: Once you have selected the videos, tap on the share button, usually represented by a square with an upward arrow, located in the bottom left corner of the screen. This will open a menu with various sharing options.

5. Save the videos to Files: From the sharing menu, tap on the “Save to Files” option. This will open the Files app, which allows you to manage files and folders on your iPhone.

6. Choose the USB memory stick as the destination: In the Files app, navigate to the location where you want to save the videos on your USB memory stick. If needed, you can create a new folder by tapping on the “New Folder” option. Once you have selected the destination, tap on the “Add” button located in the top right corner of the screen. This will save the videos to the USB memory stick.

7. Wait for the transfer to complete: The transfer process may take some time, depending on the size and number of videos you are transferring. Ensure that your iPhone remains connected to the USB memory stick until the transfer is complete.

8. Verify the transfer: After the transfer is complete, you can disconnect the USB memory stick from your iPhone. To ensure that the videos were successfully transferred, reconnect the USB stick to your iPhone or connect it to a computer with a USB port. Open the USB memory stick and check if the transferred videos are present.

By following these steps, you should be able to transfer videos from your iPhone to a USB memory stick without the need for a computer. Remember to check the compatibility of your iPhone model with USB sticks and ensure that you have enough storage space on both your iPhone and the USB stick before initiating the transfer.
