How do I move photos from shared album to album on iPhone?

Moving photos from shared albums to albums on your iPhone can be done with a few simple steps.

First, open the Photos app on your iPhone and select the shared album you want to move photos from. Then select each photo you wish to move and tap the share icon at the bottom left of the screen. On the sharing screen, select “Add to Album”.

Select the album you would like to move the photos to and hit “Add”. Your photos will now be transferred to the album you chose.

If you want to move multiple photos, you can select several photos at once and click the share icon, then follow the same steps as above. This can be a great time saver if you have a big batch of photos to move from one album to another.

Another option for moving photos from a shared album to an album on your iPhone is to create a new album and select the photos you want to move directly from the shared album. To do this, open the Photos app and select the shared album from which you want to move photos.

Then select the photos you wish to move and tap the share icon at the bottom left of your screen. On the sharing screen, select “Save to Album”. From there, you can choose a new or existing album to save your selected photos to.

Once you have moved all the photos you want, you can delete the shared album to keep things organized if you wish. Just select the shared album and tap the “Delete” button at the bottom left of the screen.

Using these steps, you can easily move photos from shared albums to albums on your iPhone.

Does deleting photos from iPhone delete from shared album?

It depends on the type of shared album you’ve created. If you have an iCloud Photo Sharing album, meaning a shared album that’s created using iCloud, then deleting a photo from your iPhone will also delete it from the shared album.

However, if you’ve created a shared album using a third-party app, like Shutterfly, then deleting a photo from your iPhone will not delete it from the shared album as it is not stored on your iPhone, only on the third-party service.

In this case, you would need to delete the photo from the third-party service separately. Additionally, the other people with access to the shared album may still be able to see the photo, even if you have deleted it from your iPhone.

How do I create a photo album from a shared album?

Creating a photo album from a shared album is quite easy. First, you need to locate the shared album within your photo-sharing application or website. Depending on the service you are using, you may have to log in to view it.

Once you have located the shared album, you can select the photos you wish to add to your own album. You can either select all the photos at once or individually. After you have selected the photos, you can create your own album either within the same application or website, or using a separate service.

Name your album accordingly and add a description, if needed. Then, you can just add the selected photos from the shared album to your own album. You may also be able to rearrange the photos you imported from the shared album, edit them, or even add additional photos of your own.

Once all of this is done, you can finalize your album and start sharing it with others.

How does shared photo albums work?

Shared photo albums allow a group of people to share and collaborate on a single album. With shared photo albums, you can easily add photos, videos and/or comments to an album that several people have access to.

You can also invite other people to join the shared photo album, and when they accept, they’ll be able to view, comment, and add their own photos to the album. Everyone in the shared photo album will be able to see the updates in real-time and no one will miss out on anything.

You can even customize the shared photo album to make sure everyone has the same viewing settings and access rights. This way, you make sure everyone has the same experience when viewing, commenting, and collaborating within the album.

Shared photo albums also enable you to organize and manage the album more efficiently and you can even create sub-albums to keep the contents of the album organized. Lastly, shared photo albums provide a great way for you and your friends to share memories together and create the best memories of all.

Do shared albums take up storage?

Yes, shared albums do take up storage. Shared albums are stored using the Google Photos service and as such, the photos that you add to the album will take up the same amount of storage space as if you were storing them on your device or Google Photos directly.

That being said, it’s important to note that shared albums use a fraction of the storage space that regular albums do due to the fact that photos are only stored once in a shared album, regardless of how many people have access to it.

Additionally, the original quality of each shared photo is compressed — reducing the overall file size as well. For these reasons, shared albums can be an efficient way of saving and sharing photos.

Why can’t I see photos in a shared album on my iPhone?

First, make sure that you have accepted the invitation to the album and that the sender of the invitation has accepted your acceptance.

Before you can see the photos, the sender of the invitation must approve the album. If the sender has not approved the album, you won’t be able to view the photos.

It is also possible that the shared album may not have synced correctly to your iPhone yet. To check this, open the Photos app and make sure that the shared album is in the Albums section. If it is not there, try signing out of iCloud and signing back in.

This should cause the shared album to sync to your device.

If you still cannot view the photos in the shared album, you may need to contact the owner of the album to ensure everything is set up correctly. It is possible that the owner may need to resend the invitation.

Can you see shared albums on iCloud?

Yes, you can see shared albums on iCloud. When you turn on iCloud Photos, the photos and videos you take with your iPhone or iPad are automatically uploaded to iCloud. You can also create albums and share photos and videos with your friends, family, and colleagues.

When someone shares an album with you, you can view the photos and videos in the album. To access shared albums on iCloud, simply open Photos on your computer, and click on “Albums”, which should be located on the left side of the Photos window.

Then select the album that was shared with you by the person who created it. The shared album will appear on the right side of the window. You can also access shared albums from your iOS device. Open the Photos app, tap “Albums”, and then tap the Shared tab at the bottom of the Albums page.

You should see the album shared with you, and you can view the photos and videos within it.

How do I move a group of pictures into folders?

Moving a group of pictures into folders is a simple process and can be completed by following the steps below.

1. Begin by navigating to the images you want to move. You can use either a file explorer or your preferred photo viewing application to locate and select the images.

2. Once you have selected the images, you can create folders to organize the images. You can do this by right-clicking your mouse anywhere in the directory and selecting “Create Folder.”

3. Name the folder according to how you want to organize your files and move the images into it. Depending on the application you are using, you can do this by either dragging the images and dropping them into the desired folder, using the “Move to” option, or using the “Send to” option.

4. After you’ve created the desired folders and placed the images into the correct folders, you’ll want to make sure that everything is properly organized. You can do this by using the browsing feature which allows you to view your images by type, location, or folder.

5. Once everything is in its proper place, you can close the application or file explorer and your images will be organized accordingly.

By following the steps listed above, you can easily organize a group of pictures into separate folders.

Can you delete a photo from your library but keep it in an album?

Yes, you can delete a photo from your library but keep it in an album. To do this, you need to create the album first, then locate the photo and drag it from the library into the album. This makes a copy of the photo, so that deleting it from the library does not affect the photo in the album.

If you decide to delete the photo from the album later, it will not have any impact on the version of the photo in the library.

How long do photos stay in shared album?

The length of time that photos will stay in a shared album can depend on the sharing settings selected when creating the album. For example, if creating a shared album from Google Photos, the sharing settings enable you to choose between a ‘private’ and ‘collaborative’ album, with the collaborative option allowing other people to add photos and videos to the album.

The default setting for the collaborative album is set to ‘On – Until I turn it off’. This option will keep the album and the photos contained in it active until you (the owner of the album) decide to turn it off.

If choosing this option, the photos added to the album by other people will remain in the album until the album is ended.

Alternatively, you can choose to have the album automatically close after a set period of time. This setting can be set to any time frame ranging from 1 day to 1 year, after which the album will be closed, and all photos in the album will be removed.

The album can be re-opened and reset to continue sharing photos with the same group of people.

Ultimately, the length of time that photos remain in the shared album will depend on the chosen settings, and how long you wish to keep the album operational and active.

Do albums take up space on iPhone?

Yes, albums take up space on iPhone. Depending on your device’s storage capacity, albums stored and downloaded on your iPhone can take up a significant amount of space. Albums on Apple’s streaming service, Apple Music, are automatically stored on your device when you download them, as long as your device has enough storage.

When this happens, the album is stored in both the Music and Videos apps, taking up around 1GB of space (or more depending on the length of the album). If you don’t have enough storage, you may get a warning that you must remove apps or media before you can save the album.

You can always delete the album to free up space but it will have to be downloaded again the next time you want to listen to it.
