【Watch Ozark Season 1 Online】

You know about Shared Albums,Watch Ozark Season 1 Online but the latest iPhone software update comes with iCloud Shared Libraries. With Apple's iOS 16, users can create an entire library to share with friends and loved ones.

How is a Shared Library different from a Shared Album? There are a few different ways. With a Shared Library, you can take photos and videos directly into the shared space without going through the extra process of adding them to an album. Also, all participants have equal access to adding, editing, and deleting photos and videos.

Last but not least, the Shared Library feature is smart, which means you can set it up to automatically recognize photos by people or dates, and it offers suggestions for what to share. Essentially, it's a fun feature that makes sharing photos that much easier.
