Create a standalone photo album
Create an iCloud Shared Album and give it a web URL, then "bookmark" that URL with a home screen icon.


Open the Photos app and tap on the Shared tab.
If you don't see the + icon at the upper-left, tap "&lt; Sharing" there. Tap the + icon.
Give your album a name and tap Next. Optionally, share it with contact(s). Tap Create.
Tap on the album you just created. Add photos by tapping on + in the grey square.
Tap on the People tab. Turn on Public Website. You'll be provided a URL.
Tap Share Link and then tap Copy.
Open Safari and paste the URL into the address bar. Tap the Share icon at the bottom and tap Add to Home Screen.


Anytime you want to share the photos in this album with people, just tap on the icon on your home screen.
