iCloud Photo Sharing
With iCloud Photo Sharing, you can create albums of photos and videos to share, and subscribe
to other people’s shared albums. You can invite others using iCloud Photo Sharing (iOS 6 or later
or OS X Mountain Lion or later) to view your albums, and they can leave comments if they wish.
If they’re using iOS 7 or OS X Mavericks or later, they can add their own photos and videos. You
can also publish your album to a website for anyone to view.
Note: To use iCloud Photo Sharing, iPad must be connected to Wi-Fi. iCloud Photo Sharing works
over both Wi-Fi and cellular networks. Cellular data charges may apply. See Usage information on
