Updated June 2026. Originally published August 28, 2013, the day Facebook launched Shared Photo Albums. Preserved as a historical EPR reference on early Facebook product feature releases.
Facebook rolled out a new and interesting option allowing its users to create shared albums. A person can create an album and, if he makes it a shareable one, then he can invite up to 50 other people to share photos in that album. Each member can post up to 200 photos in such a shared photo album, which would lead to a total of 10,000 photos that could be available in an album.
Each user can tag people so if, for instance, a person participated at an event, he can tag the people who were also there and invite them to share their pictures into an album dedicated to that event.
Keep in mind that the creator of the album can delete the content at any time — so you should keep a backup of the photos you decide to include in Facebook albums created by other users. The creator can decide on the visibility and privacy settings of the album.
The creator can choose to make an album visible only to contributors, or to contributors and their friends, or set the visibility of the album to public thus allowing everyone to check the photos uploaded in that album.
Some people already had shared albums, using apps like Flock, Albumatic, etc., so this new feature will be welcomed by many of Facebook's users.
What This Looks Like in 2026
Shared Photo Albums survives as a feature inside Facebook but has been substantially displaced by other Meta family products — Instagram collaborative posts, WhatsApp shared media, and the broader cross-platform Meta sharing infrastructure. The product-feature category itself has been absorbed into the broader cross-app integration that defines the current Meta family experience.
