Creating a Shared Album

There are two main ways to create a shared album on Google Photos:

On your phone/iPhone/iPad/tablet:

• Open the Google Photos app and sign in to your Google Account.
• Tap "Photos" at the bottom.
• Select the photos or videos you want to add to the album.
• Tap the "+" icon at the top right and choose "Shared album."
• Give your album a descriptive title.
• Tap "Share" to finalize.

On your computer:

• Go to https://www.google.com/photos/about/ and sign in to your Google Account.
• Click "Photos" on the left panel.
• Select the photos or videos you want to share.
• Click the "+" icon at the top right and choose "Shared album."
• Enter a title for your album.
• Click "Share" in the top right corner.

Share your Album

There are two ways to share your album:

By inviting specific people:

• In the sharing menu (mobile or desktop), enter the email addresses or phone numbers of the people you want to invite.
• You can add a message to personalize the invitation.
• Click/Tap "Send" to invite them.

By creating a shareable link:

• In the sharing menu, click/tap "Create link."
• You can choose who can view the album with this link: anyone with the link, or only those you've specifically invited with additional permission controls.
• Anyone with the link can then access the album on their devices.

Managing Collaborators and Permissions

• On Android phone/tablet/iPhone/iPad: Open the shared album, tap the three dots in the top right corner, and select "Manage collaborators." Here you can add or remove people, change their permission levels (view only or add photos/videos), and copy the shareable link.
• On computers: Open the shared album, click the three dots in the top right corner, and select "Sharing settings." You can then manage collaborators and permissions similar to the mobile app.

Additional Tips

• Choose meaningful album titles: Descriptive titles help people understand what the album is about.
• Add captions to your photos: Captions can tell stories and add context to your photos.
• Encourage collaboration: If you want others to contribute photos, choose the "add photos/videos" permission level when inviting them.
• Manage storage space: Shared albums don't count towards your personal storage space, but be mindful of the total storage used by collaborators if they add many photos/videos.

By following these steps and tips, you can easily create and manage shared albums on Google Photos, making it a great way to share memories with friends and family.
