How do I invite family to a space or album?
Personal invitations and share links, explained
Photos are better with the people who remember them. There are two ways to bring family in: a personal invitation (by email or text) or a share link.
Invite someone to your space
- Open Members from your space and tap Invite.
- Choose Email or Phone, and enter their address or number. (During the beta, texts go to US mobile numbers.)
- Add their name if you like — it personalizes the invitation.
- Pick their role:
• Admin — full control of the space
• Curator — organizes and tags photos, creates albums
• Subscriber — views the albums you choose, can like and comment - For a Subscriber, pick which albums to share. You can also add a personal message.
- Tap Send Invitation.
They'll receive an email or text with a link; tapping it walks them through joining. You can Resend or Cancel any invitation from the "Awaiting Response" list.
Or share a link
In the invite screen, switch to Share Link, choose the albums it covers, and tap Generate Share Link. Anyone who opens the link joins those albums as a Subscriber. Treat the link like a key — send it only to people you want in. You can revoke a link any time from Active Share Links.
Invite to a single album
Open the album and tap Invite — you can add existing space members, invite someone new by email or text, or create an album share link.
