Hey ColdShuniah,


I see that you are experiencing an issue with your Photo Stream. Here is an article for you that will help you address this issue:

I don't see photos from My Photo Stream on my iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch.

  1. From the Home screen, tap Settings > Wi-Fi.
  2. Make sure that Wi-Fi is on and your device is connected to a wireless network. You can use these steps to troubleshoot your Internet connection on your iOS device.
  3. From your Home screen, tap Settings > iCloud > Photos.
  4. Make sure that My Photo Stream is on. If it’s already on, turn it off and tap Delete. After it turns off, turn My Photo Stream on again.
  5. Close the Camera app on the device that took the photo. Photos won't upload from an iOS device to the Recently Added album (or the My Photo Stream album in iOS 7) until you close the Camera app.
  6. See if your iOS device is below 20% battery power. To preserve battery life, downloads and uploads from My Photo Stream are disabled when the battery reaches 20%. Downloads and uploads will continue after you charge your device, and the battery charge is greater than 20%.

Due to storage limitations, your Apple TV might display only your most recent photos.


I see different photos in the Recently Added album or My Photo Stream album on each of my devices.

Your device will keep up to 1000 photos, even if they're older than 30 days. Photos older than 30 days are removed from the iCloud server, so your devices might not have the same photos, depending on when you enabled My Photo Stream. Due to storage limitations, your Apple TV might display only your most recent photos.

Use these steps if you want to have the most current photos from My Photo Stream on each of your devices and delete the older photos:

  1. If there are any photos in the Recently Added album (or the My Photo Stream album in iOS 7) that you want to keep, save them to your device, then back up your photos and other data using iCloud or iTunes.
  2. Turn My Photo Stream off in Settings > iCloud > Photos.
  3. Confirm that you want to Delete Photos.
  4. Turn My Photo Stream back on. iCloud will automatically push your stored photos to your device.
  5. Repeat these steps for each device.

Thanks for being a part of the Apple Support Communities!


Regards,


Braden
