iCloud Album Notifications

My friends and I are going on a trip and will probably use an iCloud Album to share photos. Am I going to get a notification when they save photos from the album that I uploaded? And vice-versa for me saving pics they uploaded, etc.?


Just curious what the default is because I haven’t really found anything to tell me

iPhone 14, iOS 17

On my iPhone I am seeing a new photos in the Shared album announces like this on the Home Screen:
