Recently created a shared album in my iphone, but cannot view it on MacBook Pro. Why is that and how can I fix it?

Which system version is running on your iPhone and on your Mac?


On a Mac you can only see the shared albums in the System Photos Library. Is your Photos Library on your Mac your System Photos Library?

  • You may want to check the Photos > Preferences > General.
  • If "Use as System Photos Library" is not greyed out, click it.
  • Then enable Photos > Preferences > iCloud : Shared Albums.
