How to Enable or Disable Photo Stream on your iPhone or iPad?

Last Updated :

Photo Stream is a feature available to iCloud users which allows them to automatically sync images taken across all iOS devices. With this feature, the photos that you take on your iPhone will also be viewable on your iPad. The photo stream saves your 1000 recent pictures or photos of the last 30 days (which ever is highest).

  1. Launch the Settings app on your iPhone or iPad.
  2. Tap Photos & Camera.
  3. Turn On or Off the option for Upload to My Photo Stream.
Note: if you're disabling Photo Stream, the photos currently in your Photo Stream will be removed from that particular device.

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!
