photos I'm confused about the photo stream which is going to delete all the photos. I can't find photo stream on my iphone but have downloaded the icloud photos app to my laptop and my photos are there. Does this mean they are safe or will they still get deleted?

ICloud Photos for photos added using Finder With the end of My Photo Stream imminent, I am concerned about losing photos which I previously transferred from a pc. Is it true to say that any such photos which I have edited on my iPad will be safe (I.E. not removed) when I turn on iCloud Photos? thanks

Hello Northwestjim,

No, only photos with My Photo Stream will be affected. These photos need to be saved by other means -Information about the My Photo Stream shutdown - Apple Support. All other photos and videos will be unaffected.

I hope this helps!
