Thanks for joining today’s session on organizing, safeguarding, and sharing your memories using Amazon Photos. We covered simple ways to store, find, and share photos with the people who matter most.

Key Takeaways and Next Steps

Back Up First

Install Amazon Photos on your phone and computer, turn on automatic backup, and (if you’re a Prime member) enjoy unlimited full-resolution photo storage plus 5 GB for videos. Consider purchasing extra video storage if needed.

Organize with Albums (or Tags)

Create themed albums (e.g., “Grandkids 2024,” “Italy Trip”) for quick access. Prefer tags if you don’t want albums, add keywords like names, places, or events to make searching easier. You can also rename files to something meaningful.

Find Faster with Smart Search

Use built-in search by people, places, dates, or file type (photo/video, JPEG/PNG). Try the AI image recognition to surface similar content, and save frequent searches so you can return with one click.

Share Safely and Simply

Share via email, link, or social media, but set permissions first (view only, edit, or share) and add link passwords or expiration dates for extra safety. Review privacy settings regularly and remove old shares you no longer need.

Collaborate and Create

Invite family to contribute to shared albums, leave comments, and co-edit. Use Family Vault to include up to five family members who can keep private albums and share selected photos. Explore photo books, prints, gifts, and even stream albums on your TV for gatherings.

Happy organizing and enjoy reliving those memories!
