Apple My Photo Stream shuts down soon — here's how to save your photos

iOS Photos app

Many of us have hundreds, if not thousands, of photos saved across our iPhones, iPads and Macs, but some of those photos may seemingly disappear within the next month as Apple shuts down the My Photo Stream service.

In case you were unaware, Apple recently announced to users via email that My Photo Stream will be closing down; at first partially on June 26, and then fully a month later on July 26. This is (for now), Apple's service that lets users keep their most recent 1,000 photos stored in iCloud for free for 30 days. The idea was to give users the chance to easily view photos taken on one Apple device on another (without taking up room in their iCloud drive), and download them locally.
