Share one photo with a link
to copy/paste on a phone, check out the video at the end of this message.
Share an Album with a Link
- Open the album
and tap the share icon – you should see it just above the top of the album - Now find the “Create Link” button. On iOS you’ll find it under “Share To:”
- Once you’ve copied the link, you can paste it anywhere your friends will find it. They don’t need to use Google Photos, they don’t even need to have a Google account. Anyone who clicks that link, will see the
photos in the album. - IF they do use Google Photos, they can “Join” the album. That means that they will be notified any time you add new photos to that album.
- Here’s a sample album about scuba diving. All you have to do is click the link to see it: https://photos.app.goo.gl/7AKacWFZVtqzSYpy9
