Are you looking for a way to easily share photos and videos with a group of people? iCloud has a solution for you! With its shared photo albums feature, you can create an album that can hold up to 5,000 photos and videos, and invite up to 100 people to view and contribute to the album.
This feature can be helpful in various scenarios, such as when you’re going on a trip with a group of people and want to combine all the photos and video clips taken on their phones, or when small nonprofits hold events and want to capture the event from multiple perspectives.
Before you get started, make sure that iCloud is turned on and that the shared albums feature is enabled. If you’re using an iPhone or iPad, go to Settings, tap on your name at the top, then go to iCloud and tap on Photos. If you’re using a Mac, open up the Photos application, go to preferences, click on the iCloud tab, and turn on shared albums.
To create a shared photo album, select the first batch of photos you want to include, click on the share button, and select shared albums. Click on the plus icon to create a new shared album and give it a name. You can then add the contact information of the people you want to invite, type in a brief description, and click create.
Once you’ve created the album, you can click on the little person icon to access preferences. You can choose whether or not to allow others to upload their own photos and videos, and create a public website where anyone, including Android or Windows PC users, can view the album.
The best part? None of the content shared in the album counts against your personal iCloud storage. So go ahead and share those memories without worrying about storage limits!
In conclusion, creating a shared photo album is an easy and convenient way to share photos and videos with a group of people. With iCloud’s shared albums feature, you can invite up to 100 people to view and contribute to the album, and none of the content you share counts against your personal iCloud storage. Give it a try!
