LANSING, Mich. (Michigan News Source) – With just under two weeks to go, Apple users who use the My Photo Stream application will soon lose access to the function which is scheduled to shut down permanently at the end of July.
In an email to customers from the end of June, Apple reminded customers that the application would no longer work.

“Any photos uploaded to the service before June 26, 2023 at 12:00pm PT will remain in iCloud for 30 days from the date of upload and will be available to any iPhone, iPad, or Mac where My Photo Stream is currently enabled.” the tech provider said, “By July 26, there will be no photos remaining in My Photo Stream, and the service will be shut down permanently.”
The California headquartered company reminded its customers that currently photos in My Photo Stream are stored on at least one of users’ devices.
“As long as you have the device with your originals, you won’t lose any photos as part of this process,” Apple said on its support page.
Less than a week ago, the tech provider reminded customers of the impending shutdown scheduled for the end of July which would remove the ability that “temporarily uploads the photos you take on one device so you can view them on any other device with My Photo Stream enabled, and import them to your library on that device if you like.”
Apple encouraged users to move their photos and videos over fully to the iCloud.
“If you already have iCloud Photos enabled on all your devices, you don’t need to do anything else — your photos are already stored in iCloud,” the company said in an email. “To check from your iPhone or iPad, go to Settings > your name > iCloud. On your Mac, choose > System Settings > your name > iCloud. From there, simply make sure that Photos is enabled in your iCloud Settings.”

To continue syncing your devices’ photos, Apple is recommending transferring your settings such that iCloud becomes the default for storage.
While users can access up to 5 gigabytes of free space before paying for storage, afterwards, users have the option to pay 99 cents for 50 gigabytes of storage, $2.99 for 200 gigabytes, and $9.99 for 2 terabytes of storage on a monthly basis.
