The free service has been available since the release of iCloud in 2011. You can use My Photo Stream to upload the last 30 days of images and videos \u2013 up to a limit of 1,000 \u2013 from your Apple devices to iCloud. My Photo Stream predates <span class=\"waslinkname\"><ins>iCloud Photos<\/ins><\/span> and gave Apple users a way to access their images and video clips on more than one device. Notably, content uploaded to iCloud through My Photo Stream do not count against your iCloud storage cap, though they\u2019re not saved at full resolution.<\/p>\n<p>In a support document spotted by <span class=\"waslinkname\"><em><ins>MacRumors<\/ins><\/em><\/span>, Apple says My Photo Stream will stop automatically uploading photos to the company\u2019s servers on June 26th, 2023. At that point, your photos and videos will remain on iCloud for 30 days until the official shutdown on July 26th. Since every image and video uploaded to iCloud through My Photo Stream is stored in its original format and resolution on at least one of your Apple devices, you won\u2019t lose any cherished memories as part of the shutdown process. That said, if you want to have access to a specific image on a particular device, Apple recommends you save it to that device\u2019s Photo Library before July 26th.<\/p>\n<p><span id=\"end-legacy-contents\"><\/span><\/p>\n<p>On iPhone and iPad, you can save an image from your My Photo Stream by opening the Photos app, navigating to the My Photo Stream album, selecting the photo you want to save and then tapping the Share button to save it to your Library. Apple ends the support document by noting, \u201ciCloud 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.\u201d<\/p>\n<p> <em>All products recommended by Engadget are selected by our editorial team, independent of our parent company.
