What is iCloud Photos Library?
iCloud Photos Library is a cloud–based service from Apple that enables users to store photos and videos and access them from any Apple device. It was introduced in 2015 as a replacement for the former iCloud Photo Stream service. iCloud Photos Library automatically uploads every new photo and video you take to your library, making it accessible from all your devices. You can also access your library from a web browser at iCloud.com. iCloud Photos Library works with the Photos app to keep your photos and videos up to date across all your devices.
Any changes you make to your collection on one device are automatically made on all your other devices. For example, if you delete a photo from your iPhone, it’s also deleted from your iPad and MacBook. iCloud Photos Library uses your iCloud storage to keep all your photos and videos up to date across your devices. If you run out of iCloud storage, your photos and videos won’t upload to your iCloud Photos Library and you won’t be able to access them on your other devices. You can buy more iCloud storage from Apple. If you have a large photo library, you might need to wait for some time after turning on iCloud Photos Library before all your photos and videos have uploaded to your iCloud storage.
