The truth is that these are mostly cases of an older date, in short, their solution has only recently progressed a step further. At the beginning of this year, Apple got into trouble in France due to the fact that, as the operator of the App Store, it should negatively influence advertising companies.

The My Photo Stream service is ending

On Wednesday, July 26, Apple definitively shut down its My Photostream service. Users who used this service had to willy-nilly switch to iCloud Photos before that date. My Photostream first launched in 2011. It was a free service that allowed users to temporarily upload up to a thousand photos to iCloud at a time, making them available on all other connected Apple devices. After 30 days, the photos were automatically deleted from iCloud.
