My Photo Stream
My Photo Stream automatically uploads your most recent photos to iCloud, so you can
import them to devices that arenʼt using iCloud Photo Library. (My Photo Stream doesnʼt
upload Live Photos or videos.)
Photos in My Photo Stream donʼt count against your iCloud storage, and theyʼre kept for
30 days in iCloud (up to 1000 photos). Download photos to your computer or iOS device
if you want to keep them permanently. For more information, see the Apple Support
article .
Turn My Photo Stream on or off. Go to Settings > [your name] > iCloud > Photos, or go
to Settings > Photos & Camera.
Use My Photo Stream without iCloud Photo Library. Photos you take with iPad are
added to the My Photo Stream album when you leave the Camera app and iPad is
connected to Wi-Fi. Any photos you add—including screenshots and photos saved from
email, for example—also appear in your My Photo Stream album. Photos added to My
Photo Stream on your other devices appear in your My Photo Stream album on iPad.
Manage My Photo Stream contents. In the My Photo Stream album, tap Select.
Save your best shots on iPad: Select the photos, then tap Add To.
Share, print, or copy: Select the photos, then tap .
Delete photos: Select the photos, then tap .
Note: Although deleted photos are removed from My Photo Stream on all your devices,
the original photos remain in Photos on the device on which they were taken. Photos that
you save to another album on a device or computer also arenʼt deleted. See the Apple
Support article .
iCloud Photo Sharing
With iCloud Photo Sharing, you can invite others who are using iCloud Photo Sharing to
view your photos and videos. If theyʼre using iCloud Photo Sharing on a device with iOS 6
or later or on a Mac with OS X 10.8 or later, they can view your albums and leave
comments. If theyʼre using iOS 7 or later or OS X 10.9 or later, they can add their own
photos and videos. You can also publish your album to a website for anyone to view.
iCloud Photo Sharing works with or without iCloud Photo Library and My Photo Stream.
