New: shared albums with roles and reactions
One album with three kinds of access and room to react together, without anything ever going public.

Sharing photos with the people who were there should be simple. In practice it tends to get stuck on the question of who is allowed to do what. One person just wants to look, another wants to add their own shots, and someone has to keep the whole thing tidy. As of today, all of that fits in a single shared album.
Three roles to choose from
When you invite someone to an album, you pick the role that suits them right away. You can always change that role later.
- A viewer sees every photo and video and can react to them, but adds nothing and removes nothing. That fits grandparents who want to enjoy along.
- A contributor may also add their own photos and videos to the album, which is handy for everyone who was on the trip or at the party.
- A manager can on top of that invite people, change roles and tidy up the album. You use that role when you run the sharing together with someone.
Take a weekend away. You create the album as manager, everyone who came along becomes a contributor and adds their own photos, and you invite the neighbours who stayed home as viewers. Or think of a sports club that wants all the team photos in one place after the tournament, without anything accidentally landing outside the group.
React together, without an algorithm
An album is more fun when you can react to it together. So now you can leave a short comment or an emoji on any photo. It stays social, but there's no feed deciding what you see, no order trying to hold your attention and no likes counter turning it into a contest.
An album on Ohhi is only visible to the people you invite yourself. There is no feed and no audience.
That stays the principle: only the people you invite can see the album. Nothing goes public, there's no discover page, and your photos stay on servers in Europe. How to share with the whole family on a single subscription, you can read in one plan, shared with up to 6 accounts. If you want to get started right away, you can also organise twenty years of family photos. If you don't have an account yet, create one for free and invite your first album companions.
