Apple will disconnect the service”My photo stream” this July 26, 2023. No one will blame you for having forgotten the existence of this function, inaugurated in 2011 in the wake of iCloud: it allows you to synchronize the 1,000 most recent photos (or 30 days) between all its iOS devices, macOS as well as with Apple TV. This photo stream has since been supplanted by the much more efficient and effective iCloud photo library.
However, one big difference between Photo Stream and iCloud Photo Library is that the former doesn’t tap into iCloud storage. For their part, each image stored in the iCloud photo library nibbles the storage envelope and this can quickly exceed the 5 GB of the free offer.
From this summer, in any case, we will no longer have the choice between one or the other, since the flow of photos will therefore stop on July 26 (help sheet). But the last users of this function will feel the breath of the ball and chain long before, because the loading of new photos to “My photo stream” will stop as of June 26, a month before.
Apple specifies that all photos uploaded to this service before this date will remain in iCloud for 30 days from the upload date. They will remain available on all devices with the feature enabled. ” On July 26, 2023, there will be no photos left in iCloud, and the service will stop “, completes Apple.
The photos present in the service being already stored on at least one of the devices, they will not disappear forever ” as long as you are in possession of the device with the originals “. The manufacturer recommends backing up images that are not present on any of the devices, and activating the iCloud photo library.
Apple added last year a novelty in photo sharing: the iCloud shared photo library, which allows 6 people to have a single common photo library.
