What is photo stream on iphone 5s?

Is it the pictures that you have taken and then shared with other people. For example if you take a pic and send that pic to a person via text message will that pic automatically go to photo stream? I just want to know if the pics in photo stream are the pics that you share with ppl via text message or Facebook messages.

Photo Stream is a function where, if you turn it on, you can send recent photos taken from any of your Apple devices to each other. They have to be registered with the same Apple ID though.

Photo Stream is an online album of sorts that is shared among Apple devices under your Apple ID, such as iPhones, iPads, iPod touches, Macs, Apple TVs

You can also use airdrop for stuff like that to drop things between other iphone devices or users around you
