When you create a shared album on your iPhone, you have complete control over all the activities that take place in that album. You can delete any media or comment added by a subscriber, and any edits you make to the photos in the album will be reflected on all contributors’ devices. However, subscribers have the ability to delete their own media or comments, and any media they have saved or downloaded to their devices will remain unaffected.

It’s important to note that you can only upload pictures to the shared album from your Photos Library, and they must be in one of the following formats: HEIF, JPEG, RAW, PNG, GIF, or TIFF. For videos, shared albums support file formats like HEVC, MP4, QuickTime, MPEG-4, and H.264, with a maximum length of 15 minutes.

That’s all there is to it! Shared Albums provide a convenient and efficient way to privately share a large number of photos. Now you know how to take advantage of this feature. In addition to photo-sharing, you can also use iCloud to back up your photos and access them from an iPad or Mac, or restore them in case of device loss or damage.
