How to share people albums with those people?

In Photos > People & Pets, I have albums of my friends and family. I would like to share these albums with the respective people but I see no way to do it.


On the flip-side, if my friends and family have photos of me, it would be cool if they could automatically share them with me.


If this does not exist, I feel like it should be pretty simple for Apple to program. I can’t be the first one to think of this but I couldn’t find any answer searching the community.

No, Apple doesn't seem to provide any way to share the clusters of photos of specific people (that look like albums) with anybody. They don't even seem to be very durable from release to release.


The best you can do with presently provided tools is to create a Shared Album, manually add the photos currently in the People & Pets "album" for a person to that Shared Album, then share it with that person. You would have to remember to add new photos as they occur.
