Apple to Transition From My Photo Stream to iCloud Photos Share This on LinkedIn   Tweet This   Forward This

28 May 2023

In an email sent to My Photo Stream users over the weekend, Apple warned it would shut down the service on July 26. It noted iCloud Photos "is the best way to keep the photos and videos you take up to date across all your devices and safely stored in iCloud."

The company said photos stored on My Photo Stream should already be on at least one device in addition to the copy on the service. iCloud Photos can alternately be enabled for online image storage on iOS 8.3 or later, iPadOS 8.3 or later and macOS 10 Yosemite or later.

My Photo Stream will be shut down on July 26

Dear Mike Pasini,

My Photo Stream is scheduled to be shut down on July 26.

As part of this transition, new photo uploads to My Photo Stream from your devices will be stopped on June 26. Any photos uploaded to the service before that date will remain in iCloud for 30 days from the date of upload and will be available to any of your devices where My Photo Stream is currently enabled. By July 26, there will be no photos remaining in iCloud and the service will be shut down.

The photos in My Photo Stream are already stored on at least one of your devices, so as long as you have the device with your originals, you won't lose any photos as part of this process. If a photo you want is not already in your library on a particular iPhone, iPad or Mac, make sure you save it to your library on that device. For more information on this transition and instructions on how to download photos from My Photo Stream, read Information about the My Photo Stream shutdown.

Moving forward, iCloud Photos is the best way to keep the photos and videos you take up to date across all your devices and safely stored in iCloud. iCloud Photos can be enabled on iOS 8.3 or later, iPadOS 8.3 or later and macOS 10 Yosemite or later. Once set up, you can view your photos and videos in the Photos app on your iPhone, iPad, Mac, Apple TV, Apple Watch, iCloud.com and even sync them to a Windows PC using iCloud for Windows.
