iCloud Photo Library beta
iCloud Photo Library beta gives you access to your photos and videos on any supported iOS 8.1
devic
with the same Apple ID. You can make changes to photos and videos
in the Photos app, preserve both the original and edited versions, and see the changes updated
across your devices (see
on page 76). Store as many photos and
videos as your iCloud storage plan allows. If you turn on iCloud Photo Library beta, you can’t use
iTunes to sync photos and videos to iPod touch.
Turn on iCloud Photo Library beta. Go to Settings > iCloud > Photos. Or go to Settings > Photos
& Camera.
View photos and videos in iCloud Photo Library beta. In addition to viewing your photos and
videos in the Photos tab, organized by Years, Collections, and Moments, you can also view them
as a continuous stream, organized by date added, in the All Photos album.
Choose to optimize your storage or keep all your photos and videos in full-resolution on
iPod touch. Optimize iPod touch Storage, on by default, keeps lighter-weight versions, perfect
for viewing on iPod touch. Tap Download and Keep Originals to keep your full-resolution
originals on iPod touch. Full-resolution originals are always backed up and kept in your iCloud
Photo Library.
Download a full-resolution photo or video. If you’re not storing original versions on iPod touch,
simply pinch to zoom in to 100%, or tap Edit.
Note: To upload photos and videos to iCloud Photo Library beta, iPod touch must be connected
to Wi-Fi.
If your uploaded photos and videos exceed your storage plan, you can upgrade your
iCloud storage. Go to Settings > iCloud > Storage > Change Storage Plan to learn about the
available options.
iCloud Photo Sharing
With iCloud Photo Sharing, you can create albums of photos and videos to share, and subscribe
to other people’s shared albums. You can invite others using iCloud Photo Sharing (iOS 6 or later
or OS X Mountain Lion or later) to view your albums, and they can leave comments if they wish.
If they’re using iOS 7 or OS X Mavericks or later, they can add their own photos and videos. You
can also publish your album to a website for anyone to view. iCloud Photo Sharing works with or
without iCloud Photo Library beta and My Photo Stream.
