My Photo Stream: a free service launched in 2011
As a reminder, the My Photo Stream service was launched in 2011 alongside iCloud and allows free viewing on all your devices (and without the weight of the photos being deducted from your iCloud storage) photos taken with an iPhone, iPad, iPod touch or that you have added to your photo library from a Mac or PC in the last 30 days (up to a limit of 1000 shots). This service has since been replaced advantageously by the iCloud photo library, provided you have enough storage.
note that the My Photo Stream service does not work with videos and Live Photosand that the photos were not offered on iPhone, iPad, iPod touch and Apple TV in full resolution but with a definition adapted to the device.
Discontinuation of service on July 26, 2023
Apple officially inform users of the My Photo Stream service shutdown on July 26thadding that the loading of new snapshots will stop one month before the end of the service, i.e. from June 26, 2023. The snapshots offered by this service being stored on at least one of your devices, Apple clarifies that stopping My Photo Stream should not cause loss of any photosand recommends that users save any snapshots that are not already there to the library. In the future, iCloud Photos will be the best option for syncing the photos and videos you take across all of your devices and storing them securely in iCloud.
