What happens when you turn off Shared Albums on iOS?

When you turn off shared albums on iPhone, the shared albums section disappears when you access the Albums tab within the Photos app. You will not gain access

  1. Albums you created and shared with others.
  2. Albums others have created and shared with you.

This will also delete all photos shared in the album from your phone. If you want to stop sharing the contents of a shared album with someone, you'll have to remove the shared album from your library or remove someone from the shared album.
