Wedding, Travel, Party Photo Collection Solutions

You’ve Definitely Encountered These Scenarios

After a Wedding:

• “Cousin, can you send me the photos you took?”
• “Where are the photos from the bridesmaids?”
• “The photographer’s photos take a month? I want to see everyone’s phone photos first…”

After Travel:

• “@everyone, please send your photos to the group!”
• Group chat flooded with hundreds of photos, impossible to organize
• Some send here, some send there, photos scattered everywhere
• Messaging apps compress quality, have to save one by one

Company Annual Party:

• HR: “Please send me activity photos”
• Received a bunch of photos in different formats and sizes
• Some in email, some in chat tools, some in workplace platforms
• Organizing photos took longer than the event itself

Class Reunion:

• “Haven’t seen each other in ten years, everyone took so many photos!”
• A week later, still haven’t collected all photos
• Some forgot to send, some lost their phones
• Photos always missing those few shots

If there was a way to automatically gather everyone’s photos in one place, wouldn’t that be great?

This is what activity shared albums solve.
