Photo titles

My husband created a shared album, shared it with me, and yet the titles do not appear in it. They are properly entered in Photos, i.e., as titles rather than captions or in description. What could the problem be? He uses an iMac and I, a MacBook Pro.

Titles on photos not showing on iPhone or when shared with others via Shared Albums I take considerable time to edit and add titles to my photos on Photo on my iMac. After all that work I would expect that the titles would show up on my iPhone and for people I share them with via Shared Albums. While other metadata is present, the titles are not. This is very strange and does not make any sense. Is there some way I can address this?

Titles in photos My titles totally disappeared on a shared album on both phone and MacBook. I have tried checking the titles under metadata and clicking the show thumbnails, neither has worked! They were definitely there, I have been looking at them for 6 months. Recently did 12.6.3 update

Photos titles in shared albums Have just started looking into shared albums and seem to have come across a major flaw. When you create a shared album from an already existing album, it does not carry the titles of each photo across. I spent hours and hours clicking the get info button on each photo to to enter a title so that when you view the photo, it has a title above it; but when you create a shared album, the titles are not duplicated! Any ideas anyone?

Shared albums do not show any of the metadata - including titles. They are not much use except as a simple way of showing images.

Thank you, TonyCollinet. That is a failing in the Apple world, to my thinking. But I won't keep banging my head against a wall thanks to your reply.

Stay safe.
