Share photo and video albums with iCloud
With iCloud, you can create photo and video albums and share them with friends and family.
Access shared photo and video albums on all your devices
When you set up Shared Albums in iCloud, you can create shared photo and video albums and view albums that are shared with you. You can see them on any device set up for Shared Albums, including your iPhone, iPad, iPod touch, Mac, Apple TV, and Windows computer.
Because your shared albums are stored in the cloud, changes you make on one device—like adding a new photo, deleting a video, or adding a comment—automatically appear on all your devices. You see the most up-to-date version of your shared albums, no matter where you access them.
Note: Although shared albums are stored in iCloud, they don’t count toward your iCloud storage.
Share and collaborate on albums
You can share photo and video albums with friends and family who use iCloud, and they can view shared albums in the Photos app. You decide if the people you share with can add photos or videos to the album or just comment on and like them. When collaborators make changes to a shared album, everyone sees those changes in real time.
You can also create a public shared album. Anyone who has the link can view the album, even if they don’t use iCloud.

Note: There are two other iCloud features you can turn on for Photos: iCloud Photos and My Photo Stream.
