Related question, how does everyone get the family photos grouped together in the first place?
My family are all taking photos on their own devices during a vacation, holiday, gathering, etc. and then someone creates a shared Album on Photos (iOS) where everyone just dumps all the photos taken. It's a complete mess in my opinion. WE have a shared album "Christmas 2018", "Holidays 2019", "Xmas'20", etc. depending on who named it.
Everyone else seems to like the ease of upload and ability to find past pictures. Getting the photos out of the apple app seems like a pain to me. I feel like there has to be a better way, but it has to work for the lowest common denominator (Grandparents, etc).
We have a couple people on Android and are essentially cut off from the family photo stream. When that happens everyone's mentality is, "get an iPhone".
- collin128 5y agoI use Google photos with Google One for sharing with family. My mom can figure it out and that says a lot about how easy it is. Works across all grandparents and I used one of their auto upload a face (I'm sure that's the technical term for it) to automatically send a photos of the grandkids to the grandparents. This makes the whole system worthwhile, I get comments from them constantly about how much they love the auto photo albums.
- optymizer 5y agoGoogle Photos has been a lifesaver. Photos my wife takes are automatically shared between us. If we have pics from someone else, I usually create an album and ask them to upload their pictures there. Not everyone does it - some people just share over SMS and then it's likely those pictures will get lost.
