Another commodity that comes with this feature is the ability to Share My Photo Stream, through this we will be able to share our pictures and videos simultaneously with our selected family and friends. This feature is a great time saver when it comes to sharing party pictures etc, it will save the hassle of creating multiple emails or messages to share all of the photos. Also, once you have shared the images and/or videos the people whom you shared it with have the ability to post comments and add additional pictures and videos to the same album. Here is how to activate this :

• Select edit and choose the pictures and videos that you wish to share
• Create a new shared folder or add the pictures to a pre-existing one
• Invite your friends/family to subscribe to the shared folder and you’re all set

There are several limitations that come with iCloud Photo Sharing in general, you can take as many pictures and videos as your device’s GB allow you to but you are only allowed to upload 1,000 photos to your Photo Stream per hour, up to 10,000 per day and up to 25,000 per month. Given those very kind limitations most of us will be just fine.
