Photos & Shared Albums - Pro and Con

Some thoughts .... will be updated from time 

What's to love about the Apple Photos app: 
  • Photos are synced via iCloud to iPad and computer 
  • Albums - created and curated by me
  • Albums photos can be sequenced and arranged to tell a story 
  • Search feature with Artificial Intelligence and metadata access 
  • Caption field was introduced in iOS 14 
Struggling with Apple Photos 
  • Interface for 3rd party editing apps is not standard 
What's to love about Photos Shared Albums 
  • Not counted against the paid iCloud storage
  • Keep photos online even when deleted from a device & iCloud
  • Allow comments and likes from shared album subscribers
What is missing in Shared Albums 
  • Search with A.I. image recognition and metadata 
  • Export to Books with subscriber comments
