How can I share one of my Google Photo Albums ?

Gemini said

Sharing a Google Photos album is straightforward, whether you're using your phone or a computer.

You have two main ways to do it:

sending it directly to someone with a Google account

creating a link for anyone else.

On Mobile (Android, iPhone, & iPad)

Open the Google Photos app.

Tap Collections (or Library on older versions) at the bottom, then select Albums.

Open the album you want to share.

Tap the Share icon.

To share with specific people: Under "Send in Google Photos," select their contact or type their email/phone number.

To share with a link: Tap Create link at the bottom. You can then paste this link into a text, email, or another app.

On a Computer

Go to photos.google.com

Click Albums in the left-hand menu.

Click on the album you want to share.

Click the Share icon (top right).

Choose your method:

Direct: Type a name, phone number, or email address.

Link: Click Create link in the bottom left of the pop-up.

Key Sharing Options

Once an album is shared, you can manage how others interact with it by clicking the More (three dots) icon > Options:

Collaborate: Turn this on to let others add their own photos and videos to the album.

Comments & Likes: Toggle this to allow or block people from leaving feedback on photos.

Link Sharing: You can turn this off at any time to "kill" the link and stop anyone else from joining the album.

[!TIP]

If you're sharing with your partner, you might find Partner Sharing (under Settings > Sharing) even easier—

it can automatically share all your photos or just photos of specific people as you take them.

Would you like me to show you how to set up an "Auto-updating" album that automatically adds new photos of specific people?
