I connect my iPhone 15 Pro to a coworkers' work PC using a USB cable because my phone was low on battery, and I didn't have my charger. I quickly realized my mistake and unplugged it after a few minutes. Now, I'm super worried that my intimate photos or files might have transferred to the PC, which is shared across the whole office! I couldn't recall seeing any prompt on my phone asking me to trust the computer while it was plugged in. It only showed that it was charging. What are the chances that my files were transferred, and is there any way to check if this happened on either my iPhone or the PC?

Honestly, you have nothing to worry about. File transfers from an iPhone to a PC are manual, meaning nothing gets transferred unless you approve it first. Just plugging in your phone won’t transfer anything automatically.
It would pop up on your phone asking if you trust the computer.
No files or data were transferred! Your phone requires you to 'trust' a computer before allowing any data transfer. Since you didn’t see that prompt, you’re totally fine.
Would that approval happen on the PC or my phone?
