Apple released iOS 16’s iCloud Shared Photo Library to share photos through a different library. Family Sharing lets you share iPhone images and movies. Everyone may see your latest photos by creating a shared album and inviting others to view it.
Create a separate photo library in iCloud on your iPhone or iPad for sharing. You can choose which photos to move to the shared library and which to preserve in your personal library. Automatically share Camera app images.
You can share photos with up to five people using a Shared Photo Library. You’ll be suggested to share group images with library members. Shared items appear in each person’s iOS Photos app. Other members can browse, edit, like, delete, and add to the shared photographs and videos.
