Christmas photos: one album for the whole family

Three households, a dozen phones and one Christmas. Here’s how to keep every photo in one place instead of a dozen camera rolls.

In short
  • One Room for the holidays, the link in the family chat.
  • Everyone adds photos and videos, no account.
  • Anyone in the family downloads them all.
STEP 1

Make the Room before the holidays

Name it “Christmas 2026” and pick how long it stays open, so the photos from New Year’s Eve still make it in.

STEP 2

Share it with every household

Send the link in the family chat, or by SMS to whoever is not in it. Everyone adds from their own phone.

STEP 3

Keep it to the family

Add a PIN or let in only the people you approve, so the link does not travel further than the family.

STEP 4

Add the old photos too

Christmas is when someone brings out the old albums. A phone photo of a printed picture is enough: add those to the same Room and the whole family finally has a copy.

STEP 5

Download the whole Christmas

Download all gives every photo and video at once, ready for a printed album or a slideshow next year.

Questions

Do older relatives need an account?

No. They open the link and add or download photos. Only the person who creates the Room signs in.

Will the photos be compressed?

No. They stay exactly as they were taken, in full quality.

Can I use the same Room every year?

A Room lasts for the time you choose. For a new year, a new Room keeps things easy to find.
