An image is value a thousand words — so long as it doesn’t get deleted.
Apple announced it should permanently put off the My Photo Stream album next month. The feature mechanically stores pictures taken within the last 30 days.
On account of the approaching shutdown, My Photo Stream stopped uploading snaps on June 26 — and the whole lot within the album will probably be deleted when the service ceases July 26.
Nevertheless, any pics that were uploaded to My Photo Stream before June 26 will remain in iCloud for 30 days from the date of upload and will probably be available on devices where My Photo Stream is enabled.
To make sure you don’t lose any pictures, go into the My Photo Stream album in your camera roll and save your pictures to your device or to iCloud.
“The photos in My Photo Stream are already stored on not less than one among your devices, so so long as you could have the device together with your originals, you won’t lose any photos as a part of this process,” Apple notes on its support page.
If a photograph you wish isn’t already in your library in your iPhone, iPad or Mac, be certain you reserve it to your library on that device.
For those who already use iCloud, you don’t want to do the rest.
Saying bye bye to My Photo Stream signifies that iCloud is Apple’s “best choice” for keeping all of your photos and videos across all devices secure and in a single place.
But there are still outside options, as one money expert on TikTok recently shared along with her viewers.
She advises Apple users to never pay for added iCloud storage once they hit their allotted free 5 gigabytes.
iCloud costs 99 cents for 50 GB of storage, $2.99 for 200 GB, and $9.99 for two terabytes.
As a substitute, the expert recommends users back their photos up on the Amazon Photos app or through their Google accounts.
