Q: Photostream folder disappeared in iOS 8, along with all my photos in that folder. Please help!

Hello,

 

I just upgraded my iPhone 5 to iOS 8. I only had about 20 photos stored on my phone, and about 100 photos in my Photostream. After updating to iOS 8, I cannot find any of these photos that were in my Photostream, and cannot even find that folder on my iPhone.

 

Were these photos deleted?

 

Thank you,

Dan

iPhone 5, iOS 8

A:

I turned photostream OFF and then ON again and the pictures are starting to reappear  under my "Recently Added" folder. What this means is that the "Photostream" folder disappeared and now all the iCloud/Streamed pictures will be under the "Recently Added" folder.

    Does this solution have a time limit?  I found out that my pictures were gone two days later when I went to look at them after upgrading from iOS 7x to iOS8.2 and photostream did not come back.

    I am so ****** !!!

    It is not up for Apple to decide how to use the space on my iPhone.  If I want to buy a 128 gig phone and use 64 of that for photo storage that is my prerogative . The latest changes in these last two releases to the camera roll and to the photo stream are as confusing as anything I have ever seen.

    The entire pictures application needs a rewrite and needs to be parameterized to allow me to select where things go and how long I keep them.

    I have completely abandoned apple for photo storage, photo organization, photo archival, and photo edits. This a direct result of  apple's refusal to listen to the voice of the customer and to design a robust application that works in the real world.

    I use photos as a to do list of sorts, to capture ideas that need further development, to document the state of things AND to remind me of memories. Photographs are more a life and business tool for me than they are for mere enjoyment.

    If you want a superior product of choice private message me and I'll be glad to tell you who I'm using.
