What it does. A member marks some photos as private. Other people see them blurred. To see them, they ask the owner for access, and the owner says yes or no.
Plan. All plans, from the October 2026 release.
What members do
1. In Settings → Access to private photos the member sets who can see private photos.
2. When uploading or editing a photo, they choose Private.
3. Another member clicks the blurred photo and sends a request.
4. The owner gets a message in chat with a link to the request, and sees all requests under Requests to my private photos in My photos. They approve or decline.
Why it helps
People share more photos when they control who sees them. A request is also a natural first step to a conversation.
For adult photos that should be hidden from everyone by default, use the Adult content shield instead.
