How to Use Your PhotoShare Frame: A Simple Guide for Setup and Daily U

Digital photo frames are a warm way to keep your favorite memories alive, and the PhotoShare Frame makes it easier than ever to share and display those moments with your family. If you’ve just unboxed your PhotoShare Frame or your Simply Smart Home photo frame, here’s a clear, step-by-step guide to help you set it up and start enjoying your photos right away.

Unboxing and Basic Setup

When you open your PhotoShare Frame, you’ll typically find:

The frame itself
A power adapter
A quick start guide
A stand for tabletop display

Place your frame where you’d like to display it, near a power outlet. Plug in the power adapter, and the frame will turn on automatically.

Connecting to Wi-Fi

Most PhotoShare Frames and Simply Smart Home photo frames require a Wi-Fi connection to receive photos from your phone or email. Follow these steps:

Tap the screen to begin setup.
Select your Wi-Fi network from the list.
Enter your Wi-Fi password carefully.
Wait for the frame to confirm the connection.

A strong and stable Wi-Fi connection will ensure photos upload quickly and your frame stays updated with new pictures sent by friends and family.

Creating Your PhotoShare Account

Your frame will prompt you to create or log into your PhotoShare account:

Enter your email address and create a secure password.
Verify your email if prompted.
Link your frame to your account using the frame ID shown on the screen.

This step allows you to send photos directly from your phone or email to your frame and manage albums remotely.

Sending Photos to Your Frame

Once your PhotoShare Frame is connected:

Download the PhotoShare Frame app from your device’s app store.
Log in with the same email and password used for your frame.
Select photos from your gallery and send them directly to your frame.
You can also email photos to your frame using the unique email address provided during setup.

Photos typically appear within minutes once sent, depending on your internet speed.

Adjusting Frame Settings

Your frame offers various settings to customize your viewing experience:

Slideshow settings: Adjust photo display time, transition effects, and shuffle options.
Brightness and volume: Change these from the settings menu to match your room lighting and sound preferences.
Clock and calendar display: Enable or disable these based on your preference.

You can also manage albums, delete photos, and organize slideshows directly from the frame’s touchscreen or the app for convenience.

Troubleshooting Common Issues

If your PhotoShare Frame is not working as expected, here are a few simple checks:

Frame not turning on: Ensure the power adapter is securely connected and the outlet is working.
Wi-Fi issues: Restart your router and frame, and ensure your password is correct.
Photos not displaying: Confirm that photos were successfully sent and the frame is connected to Wi-Fi.

If further help is needed, consult your PhotoShare Frame manual, which can often be downloaded from the Simply Smart Home support page for detailed instructions and troubleshooting steps.

Using your PhotoShare Frame becomes a joyful routine once you’ve completed the initial setup. Whether it’s new family photos, vacation memories, or daily moments, the frame keeps your cherished moments visible in your home. It’s also a thoughtful gift for family members, allowing them to receive and enjoy photos instantly without complicated technology.
