General Send photos through link that auto expires

[kyledude]

I remember seeing in a videos on 9to5mac that Beta 3 has the option to create an instant download link for photos that you can share but I don't see that option on my phone. It also auto expires in 30 days which is nice.

Any ideas?

Do you have a Shared Albums enabled in Settings > Photos?

This works just by sharing photos directly from Messages. Sent some yesterday and it says “Sent via iCloud” underneath. The receiver is on iOS11 and they just see a link to a zip on iCloud.com which can be downloaded in Files and opened. When I tap on it in iOS 12 I get a nice popup, which I’m hoping is the experience another iOS 12 user would get when receiving. Not sure though.

Thought they were referring to this new feature and the question was about why this option wasn’t available.

Ah. You might be right there

This isn’t working for me. At least I do not think it is. It sends an album but when I click on it it says “uploading x photos” and never finishes. My contacts I’m trying to test it on have iOS 11 and haven’t responded...
