My Photo Stream is a free cloud photo service that allows you to upload images (up to 1000) for the past 30 days to iCloud so that you can easily access them from Apple devices such as iPhone, iPad, and Mac. The feature appeared at the same time as iCloud, and was superseded by iCloud Photo Library when iCloud Photos came out.

Apple announced on its support page that the My Photo Stream service will end on July 26, 2023. Due to the termination of the My Photo Stream service, uploading photos from a terminal to My Photo Stream will not be possible one month before June 26th. Photos uploaded before that will remain in iCloud for 30 days after uploading, but be careful as they will be completely deleted from iCloud after July 26th.

Apple says, ``Photos in My Photo Stream are already stored on at least one device, so as long as the original photos are on your device, your photos will be lost when My Photo Stream is discontinued. If the photo you want isn't in a particular device's library, be sure to save it to that device's library.'

However, Apple-related media 9to5Mac pointed out, ``The important thing is that My Photo Stream did not synchronize high-quality photos at full resolution,'' and the photos shared on My Photo Stream were originally uploaded at the time of upload. I pointed out that the original photo cannot be downloaded by the user because it is down from the resolution of .

Both iCloud Photo Library and My Photo Stream are iCloud cloud photo services, but My Photo Stream is a ``cloud photo service that can be used by iPhone, iPad, and Mac users who do not use iCloud Photos'', and iCloud Photos It seems that the My Photo Stream function will be completely hidden when enabled.
