How to Best Display Your Holiday Photos


Like Holiday Photos: How to best display your holiday photos 🎅 🎁🎄 on Facebook

It's the Holidays <<First Name>>!

I love this time of year. We get a chance to gather with family and friends to honor old traditions or create new ones. 

Whether it is baking cookies, decorating the tree, driving to see holiday light displays, opening gifts, or watching your favorite movies, the holidays are filled with lasting memories.

And now more than ever, we are capturing and sharing those memories with our mobile devices.

So in this holiday edition of my newsletter, I want to show you how to best display your new (and old) holiday photos.

Sound good? Ok...jump in my sleigh and let's go...
 

Slideshow Feature in the Photos app (iOS 13 / iPad OS 13)


How to quickly turn your photos into a slideshow
A slideshow is a collection of your photos, formatted and set to music. In the Photos app on your iPad or iPhone, it is super easy to create a slideshow for yourself or to share with others.
  1. Open the Photos app on your iPad or iPhone
  2. Tap the Photos tab.
  3. View photos by All Photos or Days, then tap Select.


     
  4. Tap each photo you want to include in the slideshow, then tap the Share button  the Share button.
  5. From the list of options, tap Slideshow.Your slideshow will begin.


     
  6. To change the slideshow theme, music, and more, just tap the screen, then tap Options.




     
  7. If you'd like to share your slideshow with others, simply tap the Share button  the Share button and choose what method you'd like to share with.
NOTE: To stream a slideshow or video from your iPad/iPhone to a TV, see Stream audio and video to other devices from iPad.  



The Play Feature in the Photos app (iOS 13 / iPad OS 13)


How to play photos and videos for a specific month
Another way to display your photos is by using the Play feature when viewing your photos in Months view. In Months view, you see a collection of photos you took throughout a month. The photos are automatically organized by significant events—like a family outing, social occasion, birthday party, or trip.

(Please know, not all your photos and videos for each month is displayed. To see all your photos from a specific month, tap the All Photos tab.)

Similar to the slideshow feature, the Play feature displays photos and videos in a slideshow-like movie. What I like about the Play feature, is it will play Live Photos in addition to videos. This helps brings your slideshow movie to life (similar to Frosty the Snowman's magic hat.). ;-)
  1. Open the Photos app on your iPad or iPhone
  2. Tap the Photos tab.
  3. View photos by Months, then tap the ellipse circle icon.


     
  4. From the list of options, tap Play.Your slideshow will begin.


     
  5. To change the slideshow music theme and duration, just tap the screen. Then, tap the displayed options.


     
  6. If you'd like to share your slideshow movie with others, simply tap the Share button  the Share button and choose what method you'd like to share with.


The Memories Feature in the Photos app (iOS 13 / iPad OS 13)


How to play curated photo and video memories
One more way to display your photos is by using the Memories feature. Photos scans your library for significant people, places, holidays, and more, and presents them in curated collections called Memories. Day after day, you’ll find new Memories ready for you to enjoy. You can also view Memories as slideshows.
  1. Open the Photos app on your iPad or iPhone.
  2. Tap the For You tab, and swipe down to the Memories section.
  3. Tap on a memory to view the related photos.
  4. You can swipe through the curated photos or tap the Play button on the top banner photo to view as a slideshow movie.


     
  5. To change the slideshow music theme and duration, just tap the screen. Then tap the displayed options.
  6. If you'd like to share your slideshow movie with others, simply tap the Share button  the Share button and choose what method you'd like to share with.

Don't forget about Auto-playing Live Photos and Videos
Throughout the Photos tab, muted Live Photos and videos begin playing as you scroll, bringing your photo library to life.
 


There you go! Now you know how to quickly and easily capture, display, and share your photos and videos this holiday season. That said, I wish you and your family a warm and joyful Christmas and a happy and healthy New Year. Happy Holidays!
