silver_mica, Shared albums do not support captions.

If you want to annotate photos in a shared album, you have to add a comment. You can add a comment directly when you share a photo or add it later.

Or you can add it later, while viewing a photo in a shared album:

  • Click the speech bubble (depending on the system version it will be either in the toolbar or in the lower left corner of the photo).
  • Then type a comment into the Info that will open.


You can add as many comments as you like, but adding a comment may change the sorting order of the photos in the album.
