Can I make, save, and send a slideshow from the new 7+ I am getting tomorrow?

I use my camera feature on my 5S to take photos and videos of my grandchildren. I would like to be able to make, save, and send slideshows and videos with the new 7+ , I will be purchasing tomorrow, without needing apps, YouTube, and Facebook to send them. From what I can see on the tutorials and advertisements on the 7+, it appears I will be able to do so, and with improved quality. Am I understanding this correctly?

Hi Sheasheaj1,

I understand that you want to be able to compile videos and photos that you record on your iPhone and send them to your family without needing other third-party apps. I know it's nice to do this with the tools that are provided, so I'm happy to help.

Since you've mentioned that you've seen similar things shown in our advertisements, it sounds like what you're looking for is the new Memories feature. You can find out more about that feature, including how to create your own Memories here:

Enjoy your Memories in Photos - Apple Support

Create your own Memories

Photos automatically creates Memories—but you're the best curator of your photos and the stories behind them. So you can make a Memory from any Moment, Collection, Year, or Album in your photo library.

On your Mac, open an Album and click Show as Memory in the header. If you're in the Photos tab, click the title of a group of photos to open them as a Memory.

On your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch, tap on the header of any Moment, Collection, Year, or Album. Scroll to the bottom of the screen and tap Add to Memories.

Save and share your favorite memories

Want to save a memory for later? Scroll to the bottom of the screen and tap or click Add to Favorite Memories. You'll find it in the Favorite Memories album of your Photos app. If you decide that you don't want to save a Memory anymore, tap or click Remove from Favorite Memories.

When you add a Memory to your Favorites, you preserve it and keep it from going away when Photos creates new Memories.

You can also share your unforgettable experiences with friends and family. On your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch, you can share Memory movies just like you would share any other video. Play a Memory movie, then tap on it to show the editing and sharing options. Tap User uploaded file and choose to share the movie via Messages, Mail, iCloud Photo Sharing, Facebook, YouTube, and more.

On your Mac, you can share the photos and videos that are contained in a Memory. Click User uploaded file to share through Mail, Messages, iCloud Photo Sharing, Facebook, and more.



You'll notice that after the Memories are created, you can share them with Messages or iCloud Photo Sharing, both things that do not require third-party apps like you've mentioned.

Thanks for using the Apple Support Communities. Cheers!
