I was just going through my pictures, seeing how much room they're taking up on my phone, ect. when I notice Photo Stream is taking up space on my phone. I don't use Photo Stream... As far as I know. It says it using 3.9 KB, but I have no idea where that number is coming from. How can I view what's taking up that space, if it's possible?
iPhone 5, iOS 7.1, White, 16 GB
Open the photos app on your phone and tap Albums. If you have photos in an album called My Photo Stream, you are using photo stream. Then tap Shared at the bottom and see if you have any shared photo stream on your phone.
You can check to see if you have these turned on in Settings by going to Settings>iCloud>Photos.
Thanks, but I don't have an album titled "My Photo Stream", and I do not believe I have it turned on in iCloud. Any other advice?
This is what I mean. I'm seeing the 3.9 KB usage for Photo Stream under General>UIsage>Photos and Camera, nothing to do with the storage on iCloud and I have Photo Stream and everything to do with iCloud and photo sharing off. However, I may have had Photo Stream on before for a few weeks before I turned it off long ago. Could that data/used space just be a few photos that were once in Photo Stream before I turned it off if I've had it on before?
3.9 kb is so insignificant that you should not be concerned with it. It is less then size of one text document, probably just residual info about your original sign up or activation of photostream. There is a way to get rid of it by deleting icloud account, but it is definitely not worth the trouble.
I am aware of that, I was only wondering where it was coming from since I don't have Photo Stream on. That's all. Thanks for your point, it's definitely not worth concern.
Why is Photo Stream taking up space on my iPhone? I don't even use Photo Stream?
