[QUOTE="IWT, post: 1931752, member: 83420"] Although my Post #4 is currently accurate, the post above (#7) spells out how this is going to change in June/July. For me, the loss of My Photo Stream is annoying because my practice over many years was to have My Photo Stream activated on my iDevices (principally my iPhone) so that any pics taken on my iPhone went immediately to my iMac. On the iMac, I have iCloud Photos turned On and therefore saved to iCloud from where I could recover all my pics & videos in case of loss or other catastrophe in relation to my iMac. This stratagem means that I only keep a small selection of pics & videos on my iPhone, but have my entire Library on my iMac - and backed up to iCloud as stated above. Although many folks do keep their entire library on their iPhone - possibly thousands of pics - that is the one thing I don't want. So for me, at least, I shall NOT turn On "iCloud Photos" on on my iPhone; but keep it turned On on my iMac. In consequence, each new pic or video I take on my iPhone will now need to be added to my Photos Library on my iMac manually. Finally, some members may find that (a) they don't have enough storage on their iPhone to hold their entire Photos Library and (b) they may need to upgrade their storage space in the Cloud at additional cost. I imagine this is progress. Ian [/QUOTE]
