Apple Will close My Photo Stream
Apple Will close My Photo Stream on July 26. This service, which has been available for over 10 years, allowed us to sync photos of Apple devices over the internet.
My Photo Stream was announced during WWDC 2011 and had the ability to automatically upload up to 1000 photos. These images remained in the cloud for 30 days and were automatically downloaded to other devices using the same Apple ID.
However, with the arrival of iCloud Photos, this service was forgotten. Apple decided to promote the new service more and left the old one behind on our devices. Although both My Photo Stream and iCloud Photos upload images to iCloud, "my photos streaming" has not been updated, meaning that your images cannot be accessed on devices like Apple Watch.
In fact, if you have a recent iPhone, the name of this feature might not even appear. Despite this, it is still possible to save your My Photo Stream images in the library. To do this, you must go to the Photos app, select the images you want and then tap the share and save image button.
Apple has clarified that this service will stop accepting new charges on June 26. Images uploaded before that date will stay in iCloud for 30 days and then be deleted.
