Bid farewell to My Photo Stream and embrace the future with iCloud Photos
Change is an inevitable part of our technological landscape, and as we march forward, it's important to adapt and embrace the advancements that shape our digital lives. In the midst of these transformations, Apple has announced the imminent shutdown of My Photo Stream, marking a transition to a more comprehensive and streamlined solution: iCloud Photos. Join us as we explore the details of this transition and discover how you can seamlessly keep your photos up to date across all your devices while ensuring their safe storage in the iCloud.
On July 26, 2023, Apple will bid farewell to My Photo Stream, the beloved service that allowed users to effortlessly sync photos across their devices. However, it's essential to note that one month before the shutdown, on June 26, 2023, new photo uploads to My Photo Stream will cease. Any photos uploaded before this date will remain accessible in iCloud for 30 days from the upload date, provided My Photo Stream is currently enabled on your devices. By the time July 26 rolls around, all photos will be removed from iCloud, and the service will be officially shut down.
Apple TV, Apple Music and Apple Devices apps all launch in beta for Windows 11
They have been a very long time coming, but there are finally Apple TV and Apple Music apps available for Windows 11, meaning that PC users now have an alternative to the web versions of the services.
Both apps are listed as being "preview" versions -- essentially betas -- so what you see now is not necessarily the finished product. Apple has also launched a preview of the Apple Devices app, which can be used to manage iPhones and iPads from Windows 11.
