My photos and iCloud

I have a lot of photos on iCloud as well as on all of my devices. Will I lose all those photos come July 26, 2023?

Hello jomadani,


Only My Photo Stream is going away - Information about the My Photo Stream shutdown - Apple Support.


Apple has said:

"Moving forward, iCloud Photos is the best way to keep the photos and videos you take up to date across all your devices and safely stored in iCloud. If you already have iCloud Photos enabled on all of your devices, you don't need to do anything else — your photos already sync to iCloud. To check, on your iPhone or iPad, go to Settings > your name > iCloud. On your Mac, choose Apple menu  > System Settings, click your name, then click iCloud. Make sure that it says "On" next to Photos on each of your devices."


Make sure these settings are toggled on for all of your Apple devices and you will be all set!
