Introduction

Sharing memories with friends and family has never been easier, thanks to the Shared Albums feature in Apple’s Photos app. This guide will walk you through the process of creating, managing, and using shared albums on your iPhone, ensuring you can effortlessly share your photos and videos with others.

Before You Begin

Before creating a shared album, make sure you have the following prerequisites met:

• You are signed in to your Apple ID on your iPhone.
• The Shared Albums feature is enabled. To do this, go to Settings > [your name] > iCloud > Photos, then toggle on Shared Albums[4][1][3).

Creating a Shared Album

Here are the step-by-step instructions to create a shared album:

1. Open the Photos App: Launch the Photos app on your iPhone.
2. Navigate to the Albums Tab: Scroll down and tap on the Albums tab.
3. Create a New Shared Album: Tap the Add button (usually represented by a plus sign) and then select New Shared Album[1][3][4>.
4. Name the Album: Give your shared album a name and tap Next.
5. Invite People: Choose people to invite from your contacts, or type an email address or iMessage phone number. You can invite up to 100 people. Tap Create once you have selected all the invitees[1][3][4).

Joining a Shared Album

If you are invited to join a shared album, here’s how you can accept the invitation:

1. Accept the Notification: When you receive a notification about the shared album, tap on it and then tap Accept on the album in the Photos app.
2. Alternative Method: If you miss the notification, open the Photos app, tap For You, and then tap Accept on the new album under Shared Album Activity[1][4).

Adding Photos and Videos to a Shared Album

To add photos and videos to a shared album, follow these steps:

1. Select Photos and Videos: Go to the Library tab or any other album, tap Select, and then select the photos and videos you want to share.
2. Share the Selection: Tap the Share button, then tap Add to Shared Album.
3. Choose the Album: Select the shared album where you want to add the photos and videos. Tap Post to add them to the album[1][3][4).
4. Alternative Method: If you have the shared album open, you can tap the Add button to select and add photos and videos directly from there[1).

Tips and Best Practices

• Allow Contributors to Post: Ensure that Subscribers Can Post is turned on so others can add their own photos and videos to the album[1][3).
• Manage Notifications: When new photos or videos are added, subscribers will receive notifications. You can adjust notification settings according to your preference.
• Limitations and Considerations: A shared album can hold up to 5,000 photos and videos. The content in shared albums does not count against your iCloud storage limit. However, photos are reduced to 2048 pixels on the long edge, and videos are delivered at up to 720p resolution[1][2][4).
• Sharing Original Files: If you need to share original files without compression, use AirDrop. Select the photos and videos, tap the Share button, then toggle on All Photos Data in the AirDrop & iCloud links only section[1).

Rename or Delete a Shared Album

Rename a Shared Album

1. Open the Photos App: Go to the Photos app on your iPhone.
2. Navigate to Shared Albums: Tap Shared Albums and then select the album you want to rename.

4. Enter New Name: Enter a new name for the album and tap Done[4).

Delete a Shared Album

1. Open the Photos App: Go to the Photos app on your iPhone.
2. Navigate to Shared Albums: Tap Shared Albums and then select the album you want to delete.
3. Delete the Album: Tap the three dots (⋯) and then tap Delete Shared Album if you are the creator, or Unsubscribe if you are a subscriber[4).

Conclusion

Creating and managing shared albums on your iPhone is a straightforward process that enhances your ability to share memories with others. By following these steps and tips, you can ensure that your shared albums are well-organized and easily accessible to all invited participants.
