Sharing Moments with PhotoStream

Photo Stream is one of the innovative features Apple has cleverly built into it’s products. With the help of this handy feature, you can seamlessly view all of your latest snap shots on any one of your devices, no matter if they were taken with your iPhone, iPad, or stored on your desktop. Enable Photo Stream in your device settings, allowing your pictures to upload to your Photo Stream automatically. Maybe one of the of most exciting features of Photo Stream, is that it allows you to easily share your photos with your family and friends.
When you want to create a shared Photo Stream using a mobile device, open the Photos application, select the Photo Stream tab, and tap the plus sign in the lefthand corner. Creating a shared Photo Stream on your desktop is even simpler, select the “Share” bottom that appears along the bottom of iPhoto. Once the shared stream has been created, invite members by adding their email into the “To:” section. If you’d like to share your photos with someone that doesn’t have an iCloud account, turn on “Public Website” which allows anyone to view your photos on iCloud.com. Add pictures to the stream by selecting “Edit” and then the “Add” button, this brings up your photos, allowing you to pick and choose which ones you’d like to share.

A fun feature of a shared Photo Stream is that it allows members to comment and like your photos by taping the speech bubble that appears when you’re viewing a picture. If you forgot to add a picture or contact, don’t worry! Tap the blue arrow to invite more people to your stream or select the edit button to add more photos. In a Photo Stream you create, only you can add the photos, invited members can only view. At anytime you can delete the Photo Stream or specific members by tapping the blue arrow, which takes you to the stream’s settings. When you use a shared photo stream, you can share all of your important memories with anyone. Thanks to Apple sharing your photos just got a whole lot simpler.
