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.

Note: To use iCloud Photo Sharing, iPhone must be connected to the Internet. iCloud Photo
Sharing works over both Wi-Fi and cellular networks. Cellular data charges may apply. See
