    Welcome to the Apple Community Susie.

     

    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.
