Why aren't all the photos on my iPhone backing up to my iPad front iCloud? Settings are on.

I back up my iPhone and iPad daily to iCloud but my iPad only stores pics taken with iPad. None of the hundreds of photos on my iPhone are downloading to my iPad. Why is that?

iPad, iOS 7.0.4

  1. Photostream only syncs photos over Wi-Fi, make sure you are connected to Wi-Fi to begin with.
  2. Photostream only syncs when the camera app is closed, ensure it is closed.
  3. Photostream only syncs when the battery is above 20%, try recharging the device


Try disabling photo stream on your device (settings > iCloud), restarting your device and then re-enabling photo stream.


Note: disabling photostream and re-enabling it will result in any photos that are currently in the photostream album on your device, that are older than 30 days old, not being added back.
