photo stream dropped 900 pics on iPhone ...

My iphone just dropped a about 900 pics from Photo Stream. Curiously, they are still in photo stream on my ipad.


I can't figure out why they dropped from iphone...and would expect that icloud would sync the back or also delete them from the ipad.


Any ideas what I should check?


iPhone 5s, ipad retina mini latest updates to imac mavericks and ios7 all in place.


The pics that were dropped were the oldest and the new ones are accumulating again, so this will work out eventually, but it troubles me since I use photo stream quite a bit...


Thanks


Tom

iPhone 5s, iOS 7

Photostream is temporary. My understanding is it can only handle the latest 1000 images and only for 30 days, but that document should explain. This allows you to import images to the computer for safe keeping. If you are handling more images than that, you need to make sure you are saving them regularly.
