    iPhone iOS iCloud Photo Library immediately removes pics/videos after taking them

    I have used iCloud Photo Library since it was available. Because I have a huge photo library (~100GB), I have always used the "Optimize iPhone Storage" option on my phone. In previous versions of iOS, this meant that typically older pictures would be removed, leaving only the thumbnails, while...

    iCloud photo sharing 100 album limit

    My friends and I use iCloud photo sharing a lot and have hit the 100 album limit. Is there a way to overcome this limit, like by paying for and using the Photo Streaming to share instead? Or do I need to look into using a different service...maybe Google Photos?

    HEIF/HEVC, iCloud Photo Library, and older devices?

    Say I take a photo on my iPhone 7 in high efficiency format, and then it uploads to iCloud Photo Library… will I be able to view it on my other devices that don't support iOS 11/macOS High Sierra? I'm assuming it'll generate a JPEG preview, but I won't actually be able to view the original file?
