On your Mac

Create an album and import event photographs you have permission to share. Wait for import to finish and check the collection. Analysis runs on the Mac; your local library is encrypted.
From the owner

Enable sharing for that album and copy its HTTPS link from Memories. Test it in a separate browser session before sending it to guests. Each search stays within that single album.
In the guest browser
Search, review, download
Guests open the link and search with a clear face photo of themselves. They review the matching results and download the photographs they want. Face matches can be wrong; they are not identity authentication.
While guests use the album, keep the source Mac online, Memories open and app access active. Shared content is transmitted to guests, who can keep downloaded copies. Plan your event-photo delivery.
Start small
Try one album before your event.

Read the full sample instructionsA few things guests should know.
What if a match is wrong or a photo is missing?
Face matching can be wrong; it is not identity authentication. Review each result. Check the event link and try a clearer face photo if needed. If a photograph is still missing, ask the album owner to help locate it.
What happens to a guest’s face photo?
The query is sent to the source Mac and processed in RAM; it is not added to the owner’s library. Temporary encrypted match records support result delivery. The privacy policy describes their one-hour retention window and cleanup. Shared photos are transmitted to the guest’s browser.
What if the album link will not open?
Contact the album owner to check the source Mac’s internet connection, Memories and active access. If sharing has stopped, the owner must restore availability. For an expired result link, return to the album and run a fresh search while the host is online.
Try it before you share your event.
