Share photo albums on iPhone for free: A new way to exchange photos with friends
When traveling, if you want to exchange photos with friends, and both of you happen to have iPhones in your hands, the first thing that everyone thinks of is probably to use AirDrop to transfer photos to each other, right? However, in fact, you can also use the “Share Album” function to upload photos to the same album, and then invite all friends to share this album. Let’s see how to use it.
How to share photo albums on iPhone for free?
Step 1
First, go to “Settings” >> “Photos” on your iPhone and turn on “Shared Albums” to create photo albums to share with others, or to subscribe to photo albums shared by other friends.
Step 2
Next, go back to “Photos”, select the photos and videos you want to share, then click the “Share” icon in the lower left corner and click “Add to Shared Album”
Step 3
Continue to follow the system’s instructions and add the photos and videos you just selected to the shared album. You can choose which album to add to it here, or you can add a new shared album.
Step 4
Next, invite everyone you want to share with into the album by entering their Apple IDs. If the other party does not receive the notification, make sure they have “Shared Album” turned on. In the “Album” section of iPhone “Photos”, you will find the shared album and the ones you have joined.
After clicking into the album, both you and your friends can add videos and photos to the album. You can also change settings such as inviting others, allowing everyone to view the album on iCloud, allowing friends to like and add comments, and more.
Will sharing albums take up my iCloud space?
Shared albums don’t count toward iCloud storage, but there are limits on the number of photos, albums, and invitations each person can share. The photo resolution and video length are also limited when sharing.
Will sharing an album compress the image quality?
Yes, shared photo albums have upper limits on photo resolution and video length. However, it supports various iPhone shooting formats such as slow-motion videos, time-lapse photography, original photos, and memory videos.
