An iCloud shared album

1. On an iPhone: Photos → Albums → your shared album (or make one: + → New Shared Album).
2. Open the album's people button, turn on Public Website and press Share Link → Copy.
3. In Hestia, open Settings → Photos → Album & settings, paste the link into iCloud shared album link and press Save.

Hestia picks up new photos in the album on its own. Photos with people in them are found and framed around the people; you can change any framing (see Framing photos). Album photos can be rejected but not deleted from Hestia.
