I have set up a shared photostream and a couple of people have access . I want to expand the access to more people - how do I do this without deleting the photostream and starting again?

iOS 6

    I came here to ask the very same question.

    I can't seem to find a way to add more people to an existing shared Photo Stream on my iPad 2 with iOS 6.

    And it doesn't show to whom it is already shared either.

     

    And how can I find the URL for the web Photo Stream?

     

    Thanks in advance,

    Thibaut

    OK thé answer was too easy:

    Just tap on Edit on the Photo Stream screen. Then tap on the Stream image. A form pops up where you can add more recipients and see the URL.

    I have iPhone4 and iOS6, and the above answer did NOT solve my problem.

     

    When clicking on 'Edit' I only get to add more pictures to the stream or sharing the selected picture on email, to other streams, etc. What I need is to either add/delete people or to be able to delete the stream, and that is not possible.

    Dear Tildeline,

     

    The above answer was for the iPad.

     

    To add/delete people or delete the stream on your iPhone, tap on the little blue arrow on the right side of your photostream, in the photostream overview tab within the Photos app (do not go inside the stream).

     

    Best regards,

    Thibaut

    Aha! It would've been more user friendly with a sort of edit-icon. I thought the arrow was there to tell me I could get further and see the photos if I clicked the area, and didn't see the blue arrow as a seperate function. (c; Thanks for the help!

    I have the same experience on iPad 3. After the recipients are done the first time, I cannot add more people to receive the photo streams. I do not see the blue arrow on the iPad 3.
