How to Access Photo Stream on iPhone and iPad?

Last Updated :

Just in case if you do not have iCloud Photo Library enabled on your iPhone or iPad,  you can still access your photos and videos through Photo Streams. Photo Streams saves your 1000 most recent pictures or photos from last 30 days ( which ever is highest). You can access these photos on any device you own which is linked to the same iCloud account.

Here's how you can access iCloud Photo Stream on iPhone and iPad

In case iCloud Photo Library is disabled

  1. Launch the Photos app on your iPhone or iPad.
  2. Tap on the Albums tab in the bottom navigation.
  3. Tap on My Photo Stream.
In case iCloud Photo Library is enabled
  1. You will not see an album titled Photo Stream, as stated in the above process.
  2. Instead, you'll see an All Photos section which displays the photos you have stored in iCloud Photo Library.
  3. The iCloud Photo Library includes photos taken on the device you currently use as well as the photos uploaded from your computer and from other iOS devices.

PicBackMan does exactly what it's supposed to. It's quick and efficient. It runs unobtrusively in the background and has done an excellent job of uploading more than 300GB of photos to 2 different services. After having lost a lot of personal memories to a hard drive crash, it's nice to know that my photos are safe in 2 different places.

LOVE this program! Works better than ANY other program out there that I have found to upload thousands of pictures WITH SUB-FOLDERS to SmugMug! Thank you so much for what you do! :) #happycustomer

I pointed PicBackMan at a directory structure, and next time I looked - all the photos had uploaded! Pretty cool. I use SmugMug and while I really like it, the process of creating directories in is pretty laborious when you need to make 80+ at a time. This was a breeze. Thank you!
