• All members of the chat can see these albums, and anyone can create, rename, change the cover of, or delete an album. Picking photos from this chat and moving photos between albums doesn't use extra storage.
• Deleting an album deletes the photos in it too. No member can see them anymore, and they can't be recovered. Photos uploaded by someone who has blocked you aren't deleted; they go back to "Unsorted". To keep the photos, move them to another album or back to Unsorted before deleting the album.
• In a frozen chat, albums are view-only: you can't create, rename, or delete them.
