Apple already stopped uploading new photos from customers' devices to My Photo Stream on June 26. Photos uploaded before that date will remain in the cloud feature for up to 30 days from the date of upload. When the service is shut down in July, however, no photos will remain in My Photo Stream, and they will be lost if they are not saved elsewhere.
To make sure your photos are safe, Apple encourages users to locate the original versions of the photos you wish to keep on at least one physical device, such as an iPhone or iPad. Photos from My Photo Stream are pulled from the devices on which the originals are stored.
