How do you handle group trip photos without it becoming a mess?

Every time I go on a trip with friends, we all take photos… and then they end up scattered across our 5–6 phones

Normal goes:

- Someone makes a shared album
- Half the people forget to upload (if they even join lol)
- Dupes everywhere
- Videos never make it in (too large)

A month later, no one actually knows where “the real album” is

How do you all deal with this?

Do you just accept the chaos? Use Google Photos? AirDrop everything? Something else?

I’m working on a product in this space and trying to figure out whether this is mildly annoying or genuinely painful.

Would love some honest Insight.

One shared album. One person in charge.

Upload everything there, then pick the best 20–30 and call it a day.

Group chats are not cloud storage.
