Apple is officially releasing iOS 16 later today, featuring an all-new Lock Screen design, upgrades to iMessage, including the ability to undo and edit sent messages, improvements to Maps, Messages, Focus and Live Text, a redesigned Home app, Health app updates, and much more.
A new feature slated to arrive with iOS 16 was iCloud Shared Photo Library, a new capability that would allow users to give families a new way to share photos with a separate iCloud library that up to six users can collaborate on and contribute to, however, Apple has quietly delayed the feature, with iCloud Shared Photo Library now pushed back to launch with a future iOS 16 software update.
With iCloud Shared Photo Libary, users can choose to share existing photos from their personal libraries, or share based on a start date or people in the photos. A user can also choose to send photos to the Shared Library automatically using a new toggle in the Camera app. Additionally, users will receive suggestions to share a photo that includes participants in the Shared Photo Library.
Every user in the Shared Photo Library will have access to add, delete, edit, or favourite the shared photos or videos, which will appear in each user’s Memories and Featured Photos.
