How to Create and Share a Photo Album on iPhone

One of the easiest ways to share memories with your loved ones is a shared cloud drive. But until now, Apple's ecosystem lacked a native system to do this. Google Photos, on the other hand, has offered a truly polished media sharing experience for some time. With iOS 16, this sharing feature has finally reached your iPhone thanks to a feature called iCloud Shared Photo Library. The system lets you create a shared album that others can contribute to, as well as letting collaborators leave comments. How do you create and share an iPhone photo album?
