Apple, which will hold its software-focused WWDC23 event next month, is shutting down its “My Photo Stream” service. First of all, what is the My Photo Stream? “With My Photo Stream, you can access the latest photos you’ve taken with your iPhone, iPad, or iPod Touch, or uploaded from your Mac or PC. My Photo Stream uploads your latest photos, except Live Photos. So you can view them on all your devices and transfer them to your devices. Photos are stored in My Photo Stream for 30 days.” This service, which is not very popular in the Apple world, is shutting down on July 26, 2023.
My Photo Stream service will shut down on June 26, 2023
The details provided by Apple on this subject are as follows: “My Photo Stream is scheduled to be shut down on July 26, 2023. As part of this transition, new photo uploads to My Photo Stream from your devices will stop one month before, on June 26, 2023. Any photos uploaded to the service before that date will remain in iCloud for 30 days from the date of upload. Also, they will be available to any of your devices where My Photo Stream is currently enabled. By July 26, 2023, 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 isn’t already in your library on a particular iPhone, iPad, or Mac, make sure that you save it to your library on that device. 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.”
“My Photo Stream” is not a very popular service. Also, users mostly prefer to use iCloud Photos. We do not think that the shutdown of this service will upset a large audience. What is your thought about this news? You can share with us in the comment section below…
