To turn on this feature, users first need to open the Settings app on the iPhone, then tap on the profile name to access the photos under iCloud option and then tap on the button next to the Sync this device option.

Here's an easy guide that Android users can follow to transfer all their Google Photos images and videos to iCloud Photos:
