If there was a love language, it would have been our favorite pictures. Then how about creating and sharing a common picture album with our loved ones? Yes, you can do that on an iPhone. In today’s guide, we will discuss how we can share an album in an iPhone and do a lot more with it. So, let’s get started!
What does it mean to share an album on an iPhone?
To share a picture album on an iPhone means to grant an access to some people you share it with. Now that they have gained an access to this album, they can see the uploaded photos and videos. These images can be uploaded by you, or anybody else in the added list, if you have allowed them to. The receiver does not even need an iPhone to open this album and can open it even on Android.
One thing to note here is that you must be mindful of the fact that who you are sharing the album with. This is because, not only the members on that album can see the pictures and videos up there but can also download and save them on their own devices. This can be a huge fiasco if the link lands in wrong hands.
How to share an album on an iPhone?
If you want to share an album on an iPhone with your friends or family, these are the steps that you need to follow –
- Open the Photos App on your iPhone as the first step.
- Now choose the pictures and videos that you want to be a part of the shared album. Click “Select” on the top right corner of the screen.
- After choosing the photos, move on to sharing. Make sure you have selected all the photos and videos that you have add to the album. Otherwise, some pictures may get left behind. There is also a chance that you just share a single picture (without the album), as that can also be done with the same method.
- Click on ‘Add to shared album’. If you are new to this, you will probably have to click on ‘Get started’.
- Now click on ‘Shared album’ and then ‘New Shared Album’. Name your album and then proceed ahead by clicking on ‘Next’.
- Now you can finally invite your friends or family to be the members of this shared album. You can type their email addresses or their contact numbers. If they are in your contact list, you can even type their name and add them directly. This way, these people will get access to this album and can now view its contents.
These pictures are the memories that you would want to preserve with you for a long time. Make sure you keep updating new pictures and videos and keep discarding the irrelevant ones (if any). Encourage your friends to do the same, as it keeps the flame burning from both sides. After all, what fun is a shared album if both parties don’t share?
