Is there a way to choose the album cover for a shared album?

I'm trying to edit the shared album cover to be relevant to what the event was. I don't see an option how to do this.


Also I'm unable to edit the location information.

iPhone XR, 12

You cannot change the cover photo of a shared album. The first photo you share in the album will be the cover photo.

The locations cannot be edited for the photos in a shared album. If you want to add any information to a shared photo, add a comment when you add I to the album.

It is pretty basic. Create a shared album. Add photos to it. The photos will appear in the same order you add them to the album. You cannot change the order after you add a photo. And you cannot edit the photos, after they have been shared.
