Is it safe to share your computer or iPad with friends or family members?
The cloud is a wonderful thing. Every time you add a photo to your library using your computer, iPad or iPhone, it's sent to the cloud and magically appears on every device you own, and can even be accessed from the web. How cool is that?
Conversely, if you delete a photo from one of your devices, it magically deletes itself form all your other devices, so if you pass around your iPad to friends and family at a party, and they accidentally delete some of your photos... they can vanish from your computer, and everywhere else and you might not notice it until it's too late.
That's why Apple should have a "Guest Mode", that only allows people to view your photo library, and not make any changes or deletions.
With Guest Mode turned on, you could pass your iPad or iPhone with total confidence that nobody will delete or change your photos. All they need to do is prompt you for your iCloud password whenever you need to make changes. Once you log in, you can make unlimited changes until you log out. Without the password, you remain in Guest Mode.
Another feature for Guest Mode is being able to hide private photos.
Some photos may be too sensitive to share with everyone... those should be available only when you log in.
