US-based technology giant Apple has released a new feature that turns the Photos application on iPhones into a social media platform. With this feature, users will be able to comment on each other’s photos after sharing an album with the people they want.
The new feature coming to the Photos application can be used whether iCloud is activated or not. However, in both cases, there are some important points that users should be aware of. Let’s take a look at how the new feature, which turns the Photos app on iPhones into almost a social media platform, is used and what you need to know.
To comment on a photo in another iPhone’s gallery:
- Go to the Photos app.
- Open the Albums section.
- Enter Shared Albums.
- Select the photo you want to comment on.
- You will see the likes and comments section of the photo. Enter here.
- After making your comment, click the “Submit” button.
It’s that simple to comment on photos in the iPhone’s Photos app. However, there is a point to be noted here. Albums need to be shared before using this feature. In other words, users with whom you have not shared albums before cannot comment on the photos in your gallery. It is not possible for these users to even view the photos in your gallery without sharing.
People who don’t use iPhone can also benefit from album sharing
Even if you have an iPhone, your favorites or everyone you want to share photos from your gallery may not be using an iPhone. Apple has also developed a solution for this situation. So much so that albums uploaded to iCloud can already be shared as URLs. In this way, you can update your iCloud settings and ensure that an album can be accessed via a URL. However, there are a few points to note here as well.
Apple does not offer any security features for albums shared via URL. In other words, if you share an album and distribute the URL, anyone with that URL will be able to access the photos and videos in the album…
