Can shared photo stream activity be deleted?

I accidentally shared photos in the wrong photo stream and quickly removed them right after. My question is after having removed them, will the people in that photo stream still be able to see those pictures in their photo stream activity feed?

The quote I supplied has a link to the detailed Support page for Shared Photo Streams, which provides information about deleting photos you have posted to a Shared Photo Stream that you do not own:
Delete photos or videos from a shared stream
When you delete a photo or video from a shared photo stream, it’s removed from the shared stream on all your devices and all subscribers’ devices. The owner of a shared stream can delete photos and videos that anyone adds. Subscribers to a shared stream can delete the photos and videos they add.
On an iOS 7 device
In the Photos app, tap Shared at the bottom of the screen, then tap Streams at the top of the screen.
Tap the shared stream you want to delete photos or videos from.You can’t delete from the Activity stream.
Tap Select, tap one or more photos, then tap .
Tap Delete x Photos or Delete Photo.
On an iOS 6 device
In the Photos app, tap Photo Stream.
Tap the shared stream you want to delete photos from.
Tap Select, tap Edit, tap one or more photos, then tap Delete.
Tap Delete Selected Photos or Delete Photo.
On a Mac using iPhoto or Aperture
For instructions, see one of these iPhoto Help or Aperture Help topics:Add, remove, and edit items in a shared photo stream with iPhotoAdd, remove, and edit items in a shared photo stream with Aperture
On Apple TV
Go to iCloud Photos.
Select an album, press the center button on your remote, then select a photo or video you want to delete.
Hold down the center button on your remote until a dialog appears, then select Delete Photo.If you simply press the center button instead of holding it down, a full-screen image appears instead of the dialog where you can remove the image.
On a Windows computer
Select iCloud Photos under Favorites in a folder window of File Explorer (Windows 8) or Windows Explorer
There is a lot of information in the links. Take some time to have a look at them.
Cheers,

  • HT5902 How do I recover my own shared photo stream that was deleted accidentally?

    To save space on my iPhone I deleted the photo stream as I later found out I should have done unsubscribe instade. Is there a way to undo deleted photo stream from icloud? I do have the pictures on my phone but there are comments from people I shared pictures with that I like to recover. Can someone help?
    I can get the links that was sent out to people when I shared it with them if it help.

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    Sorry you can't undelete a shared album, if you have the original photos, you will have to create it again without the comments.

  • HT201317 can more than one person post photos to a shared photo stream?

    can more than one person post photos to a shared photo stream?

    No.  At the present time, only the person creating the shared photo stream can add or delete photos.

  • HT201077 Can I share all my photos with my wife without having to constantly add photos to the shared photo stream?

    My family has an imac where we have a family photo library in iphoto.  The iphoto library is under my wife's profile.  My wife and I each have an iphone 4S.  I'd like all the photos my wife and I take on our iphones to automatically upload to the iphoto library on my wife's imac account.  I've tried a few different ways of doing this and none of them are ideal.
    My current solution works, but has some unwanted side effects.  Currently, my wife and I use the same main icloud account on our iphones.  This would be the perfect solution if it didn't take up the same icloud storage (among other issues). 
    It'd be nice if you could have 2 photo streams linked to the same iphoto library on a mac.  This way both my wife's photo stream and my photo stream would downloand to the same iphoto library.  It doesn't appear that iphoto for mac allows this.
    I realize I could do this the old fashioned way (outside of photo stream).  But, it seems as though there should be a solution that works automatically.
    Could there be a solution creating a shared photo stream on my iphone and sharing this photo stream with my wife?  I've looked into this but can't see how it would work automatically.  It looks like you have to manually add photos to a shared photo stream.  I'd like the shared photo stream to update itself to include all photos I take.
    Does anybody have a simple solution for this problem?

    There is not (yet) an easy solution to use an an iPhoto library with two separate My Photo streams.
    It might be easier to take the family photo library out of your wife's account and move it to a shared location, so boh of you can maintain it, see:
    iPhoto: Sharing libraries among multiple users
    This way, both of you could download automatically to My Photo Straem and your private iPhoto Libary, remove the worst pictures, and then export only the best shots to the shared library. This will make the shared library smaller and at the same time create a backup of the best pictures, and it will ensure that your family will never see a potentially embarrassing photo. Sharing My Photo Stream is really dangerous, because each and any picture you take will be added the PhotoStream, before you can delete it.
    As you may have seen at Apple's WWDC keynote presentation the new MacOS X Maverick will bring more sharing options for Photo Streams: Watch the keynote
    You may want to wait for the next software generation before doing any major reorgansition.

  • Is there a way to automatically delete photos from a shared photo stream

    I have a shared photo stream with almost 4k photos. I would like to set it up so that any photo older than 90 days or greater than 1000 photos is automatically deleted. Any way to do this?

    Your shared photo streams always sorted by the date you added them. If you view them, the oldest photos are at the top of the window and the newest an the bottom, with the total number showing in the upper right corner.
    if you select one of the photos and open the info panel, you can see, when you posted the photo.  You could just select a photo, from the top of the list, and if it is older than 90 days, delete all photos from the beginning of the stream up to the photo you selected.

  • TS3989 Can you use the search function in a shared photo stream? How?

    Can you use the search function in a shared photo stream? When I try to search in the shared photo stream it goes to search in my photos.

    I'm not sure there is a solution to your question, other than to not keep so many photos on your devices.  If you delete a photo from photo stream, it will delete it from all your devices.  To keep them, first save them to your camera roll (tap Edit, tap the photos, tap Share, tap Save to Camera Roll), then import them to your computer as explained here: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4083.  However, given the number of photos you have, a much more practical solution would be to transfer them to your computer using an app like PhotoSync, which will select them all at once and transfer them over wifi.
    I'm not sure why you're seeing such a discrepancy in the amount of space taken up by your photos.  It's possible that something is corrupt given the large number of photos on your device.

  • HT201317 How can i Restore a shared  photo stream

    I Deleted my iCloud account and shared photo stream was deleted, is there a way for restoring my shared photo stream without having to create a new all over again?

    You can't delete an iCloud account, you can only delete it from your device. If you log back into your account and enable photo stream, I think you will find that your photo stream photos return.

  • How do I delete my 'Shared Photo Stream' ?

    According the my iPhone 6 'Usage' I have 3.5GB of Photo Library and 1.4KB of 'Shared Photo Stream' - However I have both Photo Stream and iCloud Photo Sharing switched off in settings. Can anybody tell me where this 1.4KB has come from?
    I understand it's not too much of a big deal, but it's not switched on so it shouldn't be taking up any space!
    Thanks in advance,

  • HT201077 I am having trouble deleting individual photos from my iPad on shared photo streaming.

    I am having trouble deleting individual photos on Shared Photo Streaming on my iPad 2. There is not a trash can or delete option. If I choose edit on the first page, and I try to delete, the next step is to cancel photo sharing, which I don't want to do.

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    Youre trying to delete photos from someone else's shared photostream. You can only delete photos that belong to you.

  • How do I see other subscribers photos on a shared photo stream on iPad Air? I can see all people on Mac book pro, but not iPad Air.

    thanks

    Hello there, missjanellez.
    The following link from the online iCloud Help menu provides some practical information in regards to shared stream functionality:
    Manage Subscribers to your shared streams.
    http://help.apple.com/icloud/#/mmc0cd7bfa
    On an iOS 7 device
    In the Photos app, tap Shared at the bottom of the screen, then tap Streams at the top of the screen.
    Tap the shared stream whose subscribers you want to manage, then tap People.The Activity stream doesn’t have subscribers.
    Do any of the following:
    To invite more people, tap Invite People, enter email addresses or tap the Add button to select from your contacts, then tap Add.
    To remove a subscriber, tap the subscriber, then tap Remove Subscriber.
    To choose whether subscribers can add photos and videos, tap Subscribers Can Post.
    If the subscriber list doesn’t include Invite People, you don’t own the shared stream.
    Thanks for reaching out to Apple Support Communities.
    Cheers,
    Pedro

  • HT201317 Who can add photos to a shared Photos Stream?

    I shared a Photo Stream with family & friends and successfully shared photos with them. Can they add photos to my Photo Stream too?  Or am I the only one that can add/delete photos from my Photo Stream?

    As mentioned in your other post, the ability for others to add photos to a shared photo stream is coming in iOS 7.

  • How can I subscribe to a Shared Photo Stream from iPhoto 9.4 on OSX 10.7.5 ?

    I just updated to iPhoto 9.4 on both my (just updated) OSX 10.8.2 MacBook Pro and my OSX 10.7.5 Mac mini.
    For some mysterious reason Apple specifies that I can not subscribe to the new "Shared Photo Streams" from my OSX 10.7.5 Mac mini.
    How could that be ?
    How can I get around this ?
    How can it be that Apple claims that 'Shared Photo Streams' can be shared to all my other devices, but it turns out that my major photo-database can't, even though it has a brand new version of last year's OSX running... ???!!!
    This can't be a software issue...
    because if that were the case Apple would be deliberately cutting off users of last year's operating system... (...I even think there is a law prohibiting that...)
    so... can anyone tell me what the exact piece of hardware is that I am missing ?
    or has anyone found a solution for this yet ?
    Thanks !

    The only hardware that's preventing me from upgrading to 10.8 "Mountain Lion" would be the fact that a Mid-2007 Mac mini doesn't have a separate graphics card...
    ...as all other hardware-components ar similar to the iMac Mid 2007... :
    - at least 2GB of PC2-5300 (667MHz) DDR2 SO-DIMM RAM
    - a 64-bit Intel Core 2 Duo "Merom" processor
    - a WiFi-N compatible AirPort-card (I've upgraded the one in my Mac mini to an Atheros AR-9280...)
    - OSX 10.6.8 or later installed (I have OSX 10.7.5)
    - iPhoto 9.4
    ...so the only spec I not meeting hardware-wise is the fact that my Mac mini has a GMA950 shared graphics card...
    but surely... that can not be the reason I can't subscribe to a Photo Stream...
    why would that have anything to do with eachother ???!!!
    [ I've even seen claims of tricked OSX 10.8 installers for the Mid-2007 Mac mini, so if that's my only option... ]

  • After upgrading to Mavericks and iPhoto 9.5 my shared photo streams seem to contain no photos when seen in iPhoto. From iPad the streams are fine. How can I get them to be recognized by iPhoto again?

    After upgrading to Mavericks and iPhoto 9.5 my shared photo streams seem to contain no photos when seen in iPhoto. From iPad the streams are fine. How can I get them to be recognized by iPhoto again?

    Disable Photo Stream in the System/iCloud preference pane
    and in iPhoto's Photo Share preference pane.
    Reboot and reenable both respectively. That should jump start Photo Stream.

  • Can multiple people post on the same shared photo stream?

    Is there a way to have multiple people post on the same shared photo stream?
    My cousin would like to have a single shared photo stream where we can both post photos on it and comment, instead of having two separate shared photo streams. 
    We think that there should be an option for the album creator to give access to anyone he/she shares it with to enable them to also post pics on the same stream.

    The only link I have is to manage your team account http://forums.adobe.com/thread/1460939?tstart=0
    The only Adobe program/process for team work that I know of is Adobe Anywhere, but that requires a very different process

  • Can't share photos using shared Photo Stream with iCloud Control Panel for Windows

    BACKSTORY: My friend took pictures of my family. I want to see the pictures he took. We live about 2.5 hours apart by car. Gas prices are too high for me to just drive down with an external hard drive to get the pictures and I might as well throw my money out the window if I were to ship him a hard drive and he ship it back. SO. I ask him if he would share photos with me and he quickly agreed. He added me to a Photo Stream  he has. ok cool. I recieve the invitation email just fine but this is the error I get when I click on the link:
    ERROR MESSAGE:
    Photo Stream
    Follow these steps to join a shared photo stream
    1.Make sure you have an iPhone, iPad or iPod touch running iOS 6 or a Mac running OS X 10.8.2 withiPhoto 9.4 or Aperture 3.4 or later installed.
    2. Sign in to iCloud on your devices.
    3. Open the invitation email on an updated device and tap the Join this Photo Stream button. 
    WHAT I NEED:
    How can I view shared photo streams using iCloud Windows control panel 2.1.2.0? How can I work around this error message? I don't own any of these products that apple wants me to own in order to view these photos! I don't have the cash to go out and purchase them. What can I do to get "my" photos? Do I have to be signed into my friends apple id to see the shared photos?
    What I've tried:
    I already have the icloud control panel installed and updated to the latest version.
    I'm signed into iCloud on the control panel. (no apple id password issues)
    I have photo stream checked.
    I have my photo stream checked
    I have shared photo stream checked.
    I have tried copying and pasting the link into the address bars of Safari for Windows, Google Chrome, Internet Explorer,  and Firefox respectively and pressing enter to load. all present the same error message.
    I visited iCloud.com to see if there was anywhere to access the shared photo stream there... No option exisits
    Checked my photo stream folder in windows explorer. it's completely empty. I haven't put any of my own photos there so nothings missing per se... I just can't see my friends shared photos.
    MY SET UP:
    Windows 7 64bit Home Premium
    4gb of RAM
    iCloud control panel version 2.1.2.0
    I don't own any version of Outlook, (if that matters. I doubt that it matters at all in this case.)
    I don't have any iOS Devices or a mac capable of 10.8. My MacBook is stuck at 10.6.8. It's a late mid 2008 just before the aluminum unibody computers came out. If I had only waited another month... sigh. Murphy's Law is alive and well.
    any sugestions, especially correct answers, are welcome. please help me figure this out. Thanks in advance.

    Hello desert_dweller5,
    It sounds like you art trying to access a Shared Photo Stream, but you do not have one of the devices to enable your Apple ID as an iCloud account.  The following article provides information on how Shared Photo Streams work:
    iCloud: Photo Stream FAQ
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4486
    The article states that for privately Shared Photo Streams to work, the recipient will not only have to have an Apple ID, but it will have to be an iCloud account:
    Friends and family with iCloud accounts can view your photos in the Photos app on any device using iOS 6 or later; on a Mac in iPhoto 9.4 or Aperture 3.4 or later; on a Windows PC with Windows Vista or later and iCloud Control Panel 2.0 or later installed; or on a second generation or later Apple TV with software version 5.1 or later installed. They can also view your photos on the web if you enable Public Website in the settings or options for your Shared Photo Stream.
    Since you do not have an iCloud account and just and Apple ID, your friend can share the photo stream as a public website so that you can view it, as stated in the same article: 
    Can I share with people who don't have an iCloud account?
    Yes. If you enable Public Website in the settings or options for your shared photo stream your photos will be published to a website that anyone can view in an up-to-date web browser.
    To be able to change an Apple ID to an iCloud account, you would need an iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch with iOS 5 or later or a Mac with OS X Lion v10.7.4 or later as stated in the following article:
    Creating an iCloud account: Frequently Asked Questions
