How does Shared Family Album work on iPhone, iPad, and Mac?

(Pocket-lint) – When you create or join a family group on your Apple device, a shared family album is automatically created in the Photos app on all family members’ devices.

All family members can add photos and videos to this album. They can also comment and be notified when a new item is added. It comes in handy when you have just celebrated Christmas or gone on vacation and want to share the moments and memories you have captured with everyone. But instead of creating a Facebook album or a multiple post on Instagram with a few selected snaps, you can directly share all your photos and videos with your family members through a shared family album. So they can pick the ones they want to grab and post on social media themselves if they want.

Not sure how Shared Family Album works on iPhone, iPad, and Mac? Do not worry. Pocket-lint has made it all easy to understand below.

Shared Family Album: Two Things to Do Before You Begin

Before we see how to find, add, and delete photos in your shared family album, you’ll need to make sure you’ve created or are part of a family group and turned on iCloud Shared Albums. This is a one-time operation.

Step 1. Create your family

An adult in the family – the family organizer – can set up Family Sharing for the group from their iPhone, iPad or Mac. The family organizer pays for purchases for family members and must have a valid payment method.

  • On your iPhone or iPad: Go to Settings > Tap your name > Tap Family Sharing, then tap Set Up Your Family. Follow the instructions on the screen.
  • On your Mac: Choose Apple menu > System Preferences, then click Family Sharing. Confirm the Apple ID you want to use for Family Sharing.

Want to join an existing family group instead? Visit Apple’s support page for advice on how to join a group.

Step 2. Enable iCloud Shared Albums

Finally, to add photos to a shared family album, you need to make sure that iCloud Shared Albums is enabled on your device. On an iPhone, just go to Settings > Your Name > iCloud > Photos, then turn on Shared Albums.

How to find the shared family album on your iPhone, iPad or Mac?
