Ferchr vs WhatsApp groups for sharing event photos
Short answer: WhatsApp groups are fine for a handful of photos between friends. For an event with hundreds of photos, Ferchr is better: each guest gets only their own photos in full quality, nobody scrolls, and nothing is shared with people who weren’t in the photo.

Questions
Can guests still share to WhatsApp from Ferchr?
Yes. Guests can share their own photos anywhere, with the photographer’s credit.
