how do we share photos from the cloud?

My wife and I want to be able to have access to all iCloud photos in our cloud storage. Why if she has a different AppleID is she not able to see them in her photos app?

iPhone 8 Plus

Even if you share an iCloud storage plan, each person's data is private. See the following from Share an iCloud storage plan with your family - Apple Support

When you share a storage plan, your photos and documents stay private and everyone keeps using their own accounts with iCloud—just like when you have your own storage plan. You simply share the space available in the iCloud storage plan with your family members, so you only have one plan to manage.


You can share selected photos as described in How to share albums in Photos on your iPhone, iPad, and Mac - Apple Support and in Use Family Sharing to share photos and videos on Mac - Apple Support


You may also want to make a request to Apple that they offer an option in family sharing to share all iCloud Photos via: Feedback - iCloud - Apple
