How to Set Up iCloud Photo Sharing

Apple’s iCloud service offers a unique facility where you can share your photo with friends. The feature is iCloud Photo Sharing which is a free service from Apple offered for the PC and other Apple product. It is a way to make photo sharing with friends more convenient. It is secure and private and lets your friends add their own photos and videos to the albums you have shared.

It behaves like all other social media platforms like Facebook and Instagram, where your friends can see, add photos-videos and comment on them.
