A shared album should not live forever just because nobody tidied up. Here are your options: from the single photo that must go right now, to a planned closing with notice to your guests.
As the owner you can delete any photo or video clip directly in the gallery. That is the right fix when a guest asks to have their photo removed, or when an unfortunate clip lands in the album. Deletion is immediate and cannot be undone.
Instead of deleting everything on the night of the party, pick a date further ahead. The album works as normal until then and closes automatically afterwards. It is the most considerate option, because guests get time to save what they want to keep.
When you set a deletion date you can enable reminders. Everyone who uploaded is notified 7 days and 3 days before closing, and a banner appears at the top of the album with a clear download button. Nobody loses photos because they missed an email.
Use the download button in the album to grab the whole collection as one archive in original resolution. Do it before you delete – there is no trash bin, and a deleted album cannot be restored. Keep the archive in two places if the photos matter.
If the album has to go now, you can delete it permanently in the danger zone of the album settings. Photos, videos, comments and the album code disappear, and the QR codes on your printed cards stop working.
No. Deletion is permanent and there is no trash bin. Always download the album before deleting.
They stop working once the album is deleted. Anyone scanning afterwards sees a message that the album no longer exists.
Yes, if you enable reminders. All uploaders are notified 7 and 3 days before the deletion date, and a banner is shown in the album.
Until you delete the album yourself. There is no automatic expiry unless you set one.
