Photo stream taking up storage but I'm my even using it?

I don't have enough storage on my phone anymore. It says it's coming from my photo stream but I don't use photo stream.

Go to Settings > iCloud > Photos and make sure the options are turned off.  If they are on, turn them off.

  • Photo stream taking up storage but no photos in photo stream , so confused

    I am using the IPhone 4 with ios6 version. When I go to settings and click on photo/camera it says 430mb on camera roll and  4.1kb used in photo stream. So when I go to the photo app to delete photos I click on photo stream tab it says I have no photo's in photo stream. What is going on and how can I delete those photos to create more storage?

    Go to Settings > iCloud > Photos and make sure the options are turned off.  If they are on, turn them off.

  • Shared Photo Stream Taking Up Storage

    In our family we do a shared photo stream every month. It's a great idea and I love being able to see the pictures, video, comments, etc. from all of my family members. It doesn't take up any room on iCloud which is very nice, however it does take up room on the users iPhone. I was wondering if there is a way to unsubscribe or delete the shared album without actually deleting it? I still want access to the shared albums (on the web or something), without having them be completely deleted for everyone else. If not, the albums themselves don't actually take up that much room on my iPhone, so it's okay.

    Go to Settings > iCloud > Photos and make sure the options are turned off.  If they are on, turn them off.

  • HT201077 I shared a photo stream of 174 pictures but only 20 are showing up in the folder that was sent out. Any solutions?

    Help much appreciated!

    Upload to the shared Photo Streams can take a long time. Sometimes hours. Did the photos appear by now in the stream?
    Is the iCloud status o.k. ( iCloud Support webpage)?
    Did you share from your mac or from a mobile device? And where are you checking the stream? On your Mac? If you are uploading from a mobile device - is the battery fully charged? Uploading to the Photo Stream is the first that will be suspended, if the device needs charging.
    have ypu exceeded any limits? Daily hourly upload rates? http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4858

    mlvov,
    I did as you said and went to the icloud control panel on my Windows 8 Laptop to be sure I was looking at the correct folder for my photo stream.  All my "shared" albulms pushed to my Laptop and are up-to-date with the exception of the "photostream" album. If I create a "shared stream album" and place photo's in it on the phone; I can see the photos on my laptop. I dont get it. I had a iphone 4s and had zero isues and now with my new nifty iPhone 5s it doesent work.
    What am I not doing correctly.
    Thanks,
    iPhone, 5s, iOS 7.0.2

  • How do shared photo streams affect iCloud storage?  Do they last forever or are the still subject to the 1000 photo/30 day rule?

    Stay forever and don't count towards your iCloud storage use.

  • I purchased an I pad giving my macbook to my husband.  His photo stream doesn't work but mine still goes onto macbook .  How can I stop that ?

    Another item to consider is do you and your husband have your own iTunes accounts?  If so then log out of iTunes on your old Macbook and log back in with your husbands ID and password.  If not this post will self destruct in 10, 9, 8, ......

  • HT4906 There are random photos in my photo stream on the Mac, but they are not on my iphone. I can't delete these photos?

    I have random photos that appeared in photo stream on the Mac, but not on my iphone. And I cannot delete these. Help?!

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    Photostream in the cloud only keeps photos from the last 30 days (subject to a 1,000 photo limit). When photostream syncs the photos to your device they will stay there until deleted, which means you may well have more photos in your photostream album on your device than there are in photostream in the cloud.
    The consequence of this is that if you turn photostream off and on again on your device (or enable it for the first time), it will only be populated with photos from the last 30 days, which may not be all the photos that were previously in the photostream album on that device.

  • I can't access shared Photo Streams from my Mac but can from iPhone/iPad. I can access my Photo Stream but not the shared ones.

    I can't access shared Photo Streams from my Macbook but can from iPhone/Ipad. I can access my Photo Stream but I can't figure out how to share.

  • Why is Photo Stream taking up space on my iPhone? I don't even use Photo Stream?

    I was just going through my pictures, seeing how much room they're taking up on my phone, ect. when I notice Photo Stream is taking up space on my phone. I don't use Photo Stream... As far as I know. It says it using 3.9 KB, but I have no idea where that number is coming from. How can I view what's taking up that space, if it's possible?

    This is what I mean. I'm seeing the 3.9 KB usage for Photo Stream under General>UIsage>Photos and Camera, nothing to do with the storage on iCloud and I have Photo Stream and everything to do with iCloud and photo sharing off. However, I may have had Photo Stream on before for a few weeks before I turned it off long ago. Could that data/used space just be a few photos that were once in Photo Stream before I turned it off if I've had it on before?

  • Why is my shared photo stream taking up space on my iPhone when I have turned off photo sharing?

    I have an iPhone 5c with iOS 8.3. It's only an 8GB iPhone, so I only have about 5.2GB of space to use. So I have to be very picky about what stays and what goes on my iPhone. Photos is one of those things that don't stay on my phone long. I have deleted all of my pictures out of my albums (both camera roll and recently deleted) and there can be no photos found in my library. In settings, I turned off all photo sharing capabilities, so I shouldn't be getting shared photos from family members on my phone and stuff. So why does my storage say that shared photo stream is taking up 54.6MB? I would like it to say 0MB. Am I missing something? I've included a couple screenshots to help clarify things. Thanks for your help!

    I have turned off photo stream on my 4s 7 ios but the icloud photos are still on my phone taking up data space, HELP!

    Welcome to the Apple Community Ed.
    They sound like they are in the camera roll or synced from a computer, rather than in photo stream to me.
