Thanks for reaching out. You can completely turn off curation for private and shared albums by changing the “Personal photo curation” setting to “Live albums only.” You may visit this support website article for more info.
Just checking in to make sure that you've seen my response. Please let me know if you have other questions or concerns as I will be locking this in 24 hours if I won't hear back from you again. Feel free to start a new thread and we'll be happy to help.
