How to Fix My Photo Stream Option Missing or Not Available


Before getting started, I want to let you know a thing. According to the Apple–


If you recently created your Apple ID, My Photo Stream might not be available. Use iCloud Photo Library to keep your photos and videos in iCloud.


So, If you are a new user, this feature may not be available for you temporarily. Still, You can follow these solutions to see if it brings the luck.

First of all, You can go to Settings > General > Profiles & Device Management.


Now, Remove the profile and restart your Apple device.


If you can’t do the above procedure, You may have very little things to do. You can request the administrator to have the photostream feature.
2. Enable iCloud Photo Library


It’s weird but if you enable iCloud photo library, it may bring the photostream feature. I have no idea about it. But, I have seen this suggestion on various forums. To do it, follow these things.


At first, Go to Settings.


Then, Tap on your Apple ID (Profile).


Now, Go to iCloud > Photos and tweak the switch next to the iCloud Photo Library to enable it.



3. Login with Different (Probably Old) Apple ID or Login into an Old iOS Device


This is another weird solution. As this problem is mainly encountered by the new Apple users with new Apple ID, you can use a different and old Apple ID and see if it helps. According to some random sources, “If someone has a new Apple ID and login into an iOS 11.2 or later device, photo stream feature may not be available for him/her.” In this can, you can login into an old iPhone or iPad and you may get the My Photo Stream. Once you have got this feature, you can login into the new device.iPhone backup extractor free:The best iPhone Backup Extractor software to extract photos, text messages, contacts, voice memos, note, WhatsApp, Viber and etc from iPhone/iPad backup.
