iCloud Photos Shared Libraries

I want to be able to share my entire library with someone else and I also want to see that persons library as well. They have this feature in google photos. Does iCloud Photos have it as well?

iPhone 8, iOS 12

Can I share an existing iCloud Photo Library? I do not want to create a new shared library but to simply share the one that already exists in my iCloud. Is this possible?

iCloud Photos question With the demise of My Photostream - which was hit and miss anyway since Apple stopped developing/supporting it - it looks like I'll have to use iCloud Photos with a monthly subscription. I create a lot of Slideshows which are included under 'My Projects'. These, together with the photos and videos I have in Photos are all contained in the photos library. My question is, does the whole library get uploaded to iCloud Photos and shared so that I will be able to see the same Photos library across my devices - ie complete with photos, videos and My Projects (for slideshows)? Thanks

Moving Photos to Shared Photo Library Am I right in saying that, to create a Shared Photo Library, I have to now reselect photos from the thousands in my Personal Library? Cant I just move an already curated, obviously shareable, Shared Album of photos?

The items in iCloud are bound to the AppleID for each user. You can share selected documents on iCloud Drive with other people you invite, but to access an iCloud Photos Library and to share it with someone, you have to use the same AppleID, which would be inconvenient.

Is there any other ways that I can have my entire family see my photos?

Shared albums.

Or another product.

This is not possible using iCloud Photo Library.

that another product has this feature is moot.

use the other product if it suits your needs better.
