Photo Stream notice

I received an email saying my Photo Stream will be shut down on July 26. Why is this going to happen when I have been paying storage fees every month?

Your storage will still be available. Photo Stream does not count towards the iCloud storage that you use.

iCloud Photos is different than Photo Stream and iCloud Photos will continue to be available.

For information about the discontinuation of My Photo Stream, see the following: Information about the My Photo Stream shutdown - Apple Support
