Deletion of Photos by Apple

The instructions indicate going to "My Photo Stream". Does this apply to users in the US? I don't see this label in my photos app. Is there another label?

iPhone XS Max, iOS 16

Hello minerva133,


This applies to everyone as far as I know. If you do not see a My Photo Stream album you either don't use it or never have. To be safe Apple has said the following:


"If you already have iCloud Photos enabled on all of your devices, you don't need to do anything else — your photos already sync to iCloud. To check, on your iPhone or iPad, go to Settings > your name > iCloud. On your Mac, choose Apple menu  > System Settings, click your name, then click iCloud. Make sure that it says "On" next to Photos on each of your devices."


Please verify this setting is toggled on for all of your Apple devices and you won't have to worry about loosing any photos!
