Hey Bbt_2019,


I understand you're having trouble sharing photos because of this error you're receiving.


Be sure that the iPhone is running the latest version of iOS: Update your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch. If updating doesn't resolve the issue, connect to Wi-Fi to see if this works as it can help with isolating the issue. If you only have the issue when on cellular data, make sure cellular data usage is turned on for Photos by going to Settings > Cellular > Photos.


Keep us updated.

Seriously, in searching the forums it seems like the Apple Photos "Unable to Share" error has been around in forms since 2014.

I'm experiencing it right now, have tried toggling iCloud off and on etc, yes I am running the latest OS.

What is going on with this problem?

Why isn't the error message more descriptive beyond "Try again later"?
