Websites

• To create a shared album on your iPhone, you can use the photo app on the phone. On Android devices you can download the Google Photos app to share albums.
  This site provides step by step instruction about how to use albums and folders on iPhone.  PC Magazine is also a very reliable source for tech info.  Here is an article from PC Magazine with more general information about managing photos on iPhone.
• In the search for equal time, here is the help center for Android phones with instructions on how to organize photos using Gallery.  It has some confusing information about whether you have to download the Gallery app or if it is already loaded on Android devices.  It may depend on which generation of phone you have.
• Tom's Guide "The best photo storage and sharing sites in 2023" - tom's guide is a technology review blog.  This article compares the top 11 photo sites with information about cost, advantages and reasons to avoid in each case.  Flickr is the top rated site but number 2 on the list is 500px, a service I had not heard of.  This site is a good place to start if you are trying to determine which service will be the best choice for your needs.
