How to Share a Photo Album on Your iPad With Friends
Apple lets you back up your photos to the cloud and download pictures across all of your devices on iCloud. You can also share entire photo albums among friends and family. After you share an album on your iPad, friends and family can “like” individual photos, comment on them, and add their photos and videos to the album you created. It doesn’t take long to create a shared album, but to share your photos, you first need to turn on the Shared Albums option in Settings on your iPad. Then you make the shared albums in the Photos app. The people you shared the album with can see its contents, comment on them, and add to it. Exit the Settings app and return to the Home screen.
