Creating shared libraries in
Google Photos
allows you to collaborate with a specific person on a photo collection, adding pictures, videos, and comments together.

- Tap "Get Started."
- Choose the person you want to share with from your contacts list.
- Decide what photos to share:
- All photos: Share everything from your library from the beginning.
- Photos of specific people: Select specific face groups to share photos containing those individuals.
- Photos from a specific date: Choose a date range to share photos within that period.
- Tap "Done" to create the shared library.
On your computer:
