What Is iCloud Photo Sharing?

iCloud Photo Sharing is a free service offered with Apple's iCloud service. It's a great way to share your photos and videos with family, friends, and colleagues.

iCloud Photo Sharing uses Wi-Fi. So you don't need cables, USB, Bluetooth, or email to share your photos.

With iCloud Photo Sharing, you create a shared photo album for the images you want to share.

You can then choose who you want to share it with (up to 100 people).

Subscribers can view, like, and comment on photos in a shared album. They can also add photos and videos of their own.

iCloud Photo Sharing lets you share photos and videos from your iPhone, iPad, iPod Touch, Mac, or Windows computer. You can even share photos with people who don't have iCloud Photo Sharing set up on their device.

Unlike Instagram or Facebook, shared iCloud albums only let people you've invited see photos. This offers greater privacy of your images as it keeps them out of sight of the public.

Shared photos and videos are stored in iCloud. But they don't count against your iCloud storage limit. You're free to share up to 5,000 photos without having to pay for more storage.

Before you begin sharing photos, you'll need to set up iCloud Photo Sharing on your iPhone. You can also use these instructions to set up iCloud Photo Sharing on your iPad.
