Photostream not working or updating pictures? This means that there is like a blackhole sucking data behind photostreaming wirelessly between Apple devices. Where exactly is the problem located - iPhone/Mac/PC? Here below, we will help you sort them out.

Why Photostream Not Updating on Mac with macSO Sierra?
Make sure that My Photo Stream is enabled on your Mac/Macbook/Macbook Air and iPhone and that the two are connected to the same wifi network or Ethernet. If the recent photos are stilled not updated in photostream of macOS High Sierra and below, you can try:
1. Quit Photo app on Mac
2. Launch the Activity Monitor app, which is located under Utilities in the Applications folder.
3. In Activity Monitor, search for "photos" in the upper-right to filter through the list of running processes.
4. There should be a few rows left on the screen. For "Photos Agent" and each of the ones starting with "com.apple" click on the row to select it, and then click the X icon in the upper-left.
5. A confirmation message will appear. Click "Force Quit" to end the process.
6. Once all of the processes mentioned in step 4 are gone, you can quit Activity Monitor.
7. Open the Photos app again and, after a few moments, all of your latest photos should start importing from My Photo Stream.
Note:
1. My Photo Stream supports JPEG, TIFF, PNG, and most RAW photo formats. My Photo Stream doesn't support video or Live Photos. Therefore, if your recent photos are live photos, you might not be able to see those photos streaming.
2. Make sure that you are signed in with the same users ID to allow the auto download

Why Photostream Not Working on iPhone iOS 11/10/9/8?
The reasons might be that you haven't turned on that feature on each of your devices yet:
On your iPhone, iPad, or iPod,
Tap Settings > Wi-Fi on all of your devices. Check that Wi-Fi is on and you have an Internet connection.
If you have iOS 10.3 or later, tap Settings > [your name] > iCloud > Photos. For earlier versions of iOS, tap Settings > iCloud > Photos.
Check that My Photo Stream is on for each of your devices. If the feature is on, turn it off and tap Delete. Then turn on My Photo Stream again.
On the device that took the photo you're looking for, close the Camera app. (Nothing uploads to My Photo Stream until you do.)
NOTE: If your iOS device is below 20% battery power "My Photo Stream" disables itself temporarily to save battery life.
