Why trust Greenbot
At its Nexus launch event in late September, Google announced that it would be bringing ‘Shared Albums’ feature to Google Photos later this year. True to its words and just before the holiday season, the company has started rolling out the feature to iOS, Android and web version of Google Photos.
The steps are pretty simple. You create a shared album, send the link to your friends and loved ones, they join the album and then they can start adding their own photos to it. Once new photos are added in an album, other people who have joined that album will automatically receive a notification about it.

Photos added by someone else in a shared album can also be added to your own Google Photos library.
Shared albums start rolling out on Android, iOS and the web for all Google Photos users starting from today.
As a long time Google Photos users, I am very excited about this feature. It was an absolute pain to get all the photos shot by my friends in once place so that I could upload them to Google Photos. With Shared albums, they will now be automatically able to add photos shot by them and everyone else will instantly get access to them.
Are you excited about Shared albums feature making its way to Google Photos?
