you wouldn’t have to say goodbye to all of this
if you opted to quit conventional social media
channels, as the Photos app on iOS devices can
prove a surprisingly palatable alternative.
This app’s Shared Albums feature would allow
you to be selective regarding exactly which
photos from the gallery you share and with
whom. You could even tap into the Sharing
Suggestions feature to let the software itself
intelligently choose the greatest moments to
share from your Photos library. In either case, the
images can be shared across iPhones, iPads, iPod
Touches, Macs, Apple TV 4Ks and Apple TV HDs –
but make sure they all run the latest operating
systems and are set up with iCloud.
You should also make sure the Shared Albums
feature is activated on all of the devices on which
content will be shared. You can invite as many as a
hundred people to see a shared album you have
made, as well as add comments and even their
own images to that album. While it is possible to
share albums with people not using iCloud, those
people will not be able to leave comments or ‘like’
photos in those albums, which is why it’s a good
idea to encourage them to sign up for iCloud.
If you were the one who created the album in
the first place, you can keep a tight rein over
who accesses it; for example, you are free to
remove subscribers or even completely delete
the album. If you do delete the shared album, it
will automatically disappear from your devices
and those of your subscribers. Photos and
videos added to shared albums don’t even
deplete any of your iCloud storage, even though
they are kept in iCloud – making for a versatile
but also very secure network.How to create a shared album
