My Photo Stream
My Photo Stream, turned on by default, automatically uploads new photos and videos to your
other devices that use My Photo Stream.
Turn My Photo Stream on or o. Go to Settings > Photos & Camera, or Settings > iCloud >
Photos.
Note:Photos stored in iCloud count against your total iCloud storage, but photos uploaded to
My Photo Stream don’t count additionally against your iCloud storage.
Use My Photo Stream without iCloud Photo Library. Photos and videos you take with iPhone
are added to the My Photo Stream album when you leave the Camera app and iPhone 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 and videos added to My Photo Stream on your other devices appear in your My Photo
Stream album on iPhone. iOS devices can keep up to 1000 of your most recent photos in iCloud
for 30 days; you can choose to automatically import these photos to your computer, if you want
to keep them permanently.

•
Save your best shots on iPhone: Select the photos, then tap Add To.

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 originally taken.
Photos that you save to another album on a device or computer are also not deleted. See
support.apple.com/kb/HT4486.
Use My Photo Stream with iCloud Photo Library. If you use iCloud Photo Library on iPhone, you
can use My Photo Stream to upload recent photos and videos and view them on other devices
that do not have iCloud Photo Library enabled.
iCloud Photo Sharing
With iCloud Photo Sharing, you can create albums of photos and videos to share, and subscribe
to other people’s shared albums. You can invite others using iCloud Photo Sharing (iOS 6 or later
or OS X Mountain Lion or later) to view your albums, and they can leave comments if they wish.
If they’re using iOS 7 or OS X Mavericks 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.
