I want to release a private photo to certain contacts. I can't find a wa to do so. Could someone please tell me how?

pull up the pic in ur account, right click it and copy the image url.
Paste the url in a message & send. It will become a clickable link to the recipient. FYI post questions like this in the help thread & a mod will answer you sooner

How do I make Photos 'Private?'
When you place a picture in the 'Main Pic' slot
it will allow you to designate it as "Public"
or "Private."

To give someone access to the 'Private' images,
you merely right-click on the 'Private' photo
which gives you a drop-down menu, left-click on
'Properties' and copy the URL (link) of that
photo and send it via email to anyone you wish.

It stays 'Private.'

How about just getting a simple picture in my page? I've emailed a few as I'm on an iPad and iPhone and so far nothing!
