Group Sharing is a fantastic feature that allows you to easily share various content with many people.
For example, you can create Shared albums where multiple people can add photos and videos together to share precious memories; or Shared notes where you can study together or share ideas with each other. Or you can add special anniversaries or important events to the Calendar so other people don’t forget; or set Reminders so they don’t forget things they have to do. You can also share your Internet connection so that others can connect along with you!
And Group Sharing is now even easier to use!*
1. Add directly when you want to without creating a group in advance
Instead of having to create a group in advance, you can now select members to share with from the Contacts tab or directly enter the information in the Account tab.
You can still use Shared albums, Shared notes, Shared calendars, Shared reminders, and Auto hotspot family sharing* just like before, and that were created with existing groups.
(Note: The Group Sharing menu provided previously in the Samsung account menu is due to be removed from June 13, 2022 (UTC).)
2. Show recently invited members
You can directly select recently invited people when selecting members to share with.
So, if you have invited members to a Shared album, you can select the same members at once when creating Shared notes. And when sharing several kinds of content with the same member, you don’t have to scroll through the Contacts tab to find the member you want to share with each time, nor re-enter their Samsung account ID or phone number in the Account tab.
