How do guests get into an album in the first place?

Two main routes. You share the private guest link with them — over WhatsApp, email, a family group, wherever — and they tap it. Or, if it's a live event, you place the album's QR code somewhere visible (a stand at the venue entrance, on tables, on the back of chairs) and guests scan it with their phone camera. Scanning drops them straight onto the secure access page, no typing a long URL, no needing instructions explained three times. The QR route is especially powerful at weddings where a chunk of guests arrived without the link.
