Apple Inc. is reportedly discontinuing its My Photo Stream service because it is no longer necessary. This is because the iPhone maker is already offering iCloud Photos, which provides the same function.
According to PC Mag, Apple will halt all new image uploads to My Photo Stream in the next few weeks. The company will then officially shut down the My Photo Stream platform on July 26.
It was reported that by pulling the plug on the photo storage, Apple is seemingly pushing users to use iCloud Photos instead. This tool is available on most of the company's devices, including iPhones, iPads, and iMacs that are operating on iOS 8.3 or later and OS X Yosemite or later, respectively.
My Photo Stream was first launched in 2011, and it allowed users to upload and store their photos in the last 30 days on any of the Apple devices. It could store up to 1,000 images from iPhones, and these will be automatically made available on iPad as well.
It was noted that Apple's iCloud Photos is no different from My Photo Stream because it also functions as storage for pictures. The only difference is probably the fact that it also supports video backups. The similar purpose of the two apps made My Photo Stream redundant, so Apple decided to discontinue the app.
"Any photos uploaded to the service before that date will remain in iCloud for 30 days from the date of upload and will be available to any of your devices where My Photo Stream is currently enabled," Apple said in a statement announcing the discontinuation. "By July 26, 2023, there will be no photos remaining in iCloud, and the service will be shut down."
Apple explained that all images that were already uploaded on My Photo Stream are not going to be lost because they were automatically stored in the user's Apple devices. This means that people will not lose any of their precious pictures since they are already saved on the iPhone, Mac, or iPad that they are using.
"The photos in My Photo Stream are already stored on at least one of your devices so as long as you have the device with your originals, you won't lose any photos in this process," The Times of India quoted Apple as saying.
