Step 3: If you want to add more people, click on “Manage members and links” to add more individuals and create a shared link. You can also manage permissions here by checking the “View” or “Edit” options to allow them to view or edit the folder perfectly.

Once you've completed these steps, tap “Save & Share.” Your photos will begin appearing in your selected contacts' “Shared with Me” tab.

Correct! You have successfully shared your favorite photo with your default contact.
