    Hello abughoua,

     

    Thank you for the question.  Photo Stream allows you to share photos between your devices, but it does not store all the photos from all your devices.  Photo Stream holds up to 1000 photos for up to 30 days:

     

    How long are My Photo Stream photos stored in iCloud?

    The photos you upload to My Photo Stream are stored in iCloud for 30 days to give your devices plenty of time to connect and download them.

    How many photos are stored in My Photo Stream on my devices and computers?

    iCloud pushes all your photos to the My Photo Stream album on your devices and computers, and manages them efficiently, so you don’t run out of storage space.

    Your iOS devices keep a rolling collection of your last 1000 photos in the My Photo Stream album. From there, you can browse your recent photos or move the ones you like to your Camera Roll or another album to keep them on your device forever.

    I see different photos in My Photo Stream on each of my devices.

    Your device will keep up to 1000 photos, even if they are older than 30 days. Photos older than 30 days are removed from the iCloud server, so all devices may not have the same photos, depending on when you enabled My Photo Stream.
