Bluetooth is a wireless technology that allows devices to communicate with one another.  You may use Bluetooth to send images from your iPhone to your laptop.

MacBook

For a Macbook, sharing photos via Bluetooth is rather simple. For Bluetooth file transfers from iPhone to Mac or vice versa, both devices must have Bluetooth turned on.

• When you send or receive files, you must first configure the Bluetooth file manager.

Windows Laptop

Accessing and sharing photos from an iPhone to a Windows laptop and vice versa through Bluetooth is a whole other experience. This is because Bluetooth isn't really supported on both systems. Windows laptops run the Windows operating system. Your iPhone, on the other hand, runs iOS. This does not preclude you from exchanging data between the two systems. Other means must be used for file transmission.
